According to Wiki:-

What matters much more is that audiences do
CinemaScore "A-" on an A+ to F scale)
Anything scoring an "A" is predicted to recoup the film's budget . . . in this case $230M . . . and according to Ed Mintz CS's founder, "A’s generally are good, B’s generally are shaky, and C’s are terrible. D’s and F’s, they shouldn’t have made the movie."

Any news regarding an US best buy release or canada Futureshop steelbook to match the first 3 POTC steelbooks?
I Saw it last week on release day. I enjoyed it, i love the pirates franchise and this would be my 2nd or 3rd favourite. Its worth getting if you have the other steels.
That's why I was asking. I'd prefer one with the spine title also. I take it this will be the only version with the spine title (like Dr. Strange)?
The price is a stumbling block for me, but I received the usual 'limited stock left' email from Zavvi earlier. Not sure what to do
Interesting....
I know for Zootropolis that there was already a Danish zoo called Zootopia so they couldn't use that title in Europe.
Do we know why they couldn't call this 'Dead Men Tell No Tales'?
RE: WHY FILM TITLE CHANGE?
Various theories doing the rounds and until Disney puts out the definitive answer one of these could be the reason:-
As it stands at the time of writing (according to IMDb) of the 36 territories listed:
- SALAZAR'S REVENGE is listed in 32 territories
- PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 5 is listed in 1 territory (US of A)
- DEAD MAN TELL NO TALES in listed in 3 territories (Portugal, Russia and S. Africa)
THE THEORIES
1) Customers getting the title confused with one of the previous films - DEAD MAN'S CHEST
2) According to Cinemablend:
Quote, "There's no specific word on why the change was made though in reporting the news Den of Geek theorises that it has to do with what TRADE MARKS are available. If there was difficulty getting the trademark for Dead Men Tell No Tales in the UK because of similarly titled projects, then Disney would change the name so they could secure a trademark on a different name. The name change isn't only happening in the UK. The name change also covers the film's release in France, Italy, and Spain.
There's one significant positive to the name change in Europe. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is a mouth full. It's a really long title that just doesn't flow very well when you're trying to discuss it with people. Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge loses the connection to the refrain that you hear repeated throughout the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland, but it's a heck of a lot easier to say."
3) My favourite theory - Spanish actor Javier Bardem as the undead main pirate villain Armando Salazar is out for revenge . . . hence title . . . with Salazar being an appropriately Mediterranean / Hispanic name for the Spanish born actor . . . instead of the original name of Captain Brand chosen for the Austrian German Christoph Waltz . . . who was reportedly the original choice for main pirate villain in DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES but had to pull out.

28th of September is the German release date, i should imagine this will be roughly the same release window for the UK.
The final artwork has just been confirmed! If it have some embossing, spot gloss on the gold areas or full gloss this could be an Beautiful steelbook
Looks great to me, never caught the movie but I'll definitely pick this up if I enjoy it eventuallyThe final artwork has just been confirmed! If it have some embossing, spot gloss on the gold areas or full gloss this could be an Beautiful steelbook

Same here!
But this one has the potential to be more than a great steelbook (If you ask me) 
If this would be full glossy and the skull and bones where embossed... 
I'm curious what the back and inside artwork are going to be.
I'm skipping this one hoping for a 4k steelbook, since the movie will also have a 4k release.
Hello all
Yup, we've just had the final artwork confirmed today and it's a beauty. Definitely, one of the nicest Disney SteelBook releases this year, we think!
PS For those holding out for a 4K release - We actually haven't heard of one happening.
