Anyone following production on the next Pirates adventure knows that the road has been rocky. Whether it be Bruckheimer's involvement to the movie not having an official green-light, this movie has kept us on our toes. The last big announcement was the directors, Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg, that would be taking over for the film. Well now Disney has announced that the next Pirates film will be released on July 7, 2017. While there is no competition that weekend, there is the next Despicable Me coming out the week before and Fantastic Four 2 out the week after. Not to mention, movie-goer pockets wil be empty after seeing The Lego Movie 2, The Wolverine 3, and 3 Marvel films during the year. Still, if you are a Pirates fan, you should be excited that production seems to be moving forward.
