The Wild Way Johnny Depp Cost Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales Millions Of Dollars

However the incident happened, Johnny Depp subsequently had to be flown to Los Angeles for surgery, requiring Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales to shut down production for two weeks. This move cost $350,000 per day, so over 14 days, that adds up to $4.9 million. It’s also worth noting that the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie was made off a budget somewhere between $230-$320 million, so an already-expensive production having to dedicate financial resources to deal with this drug-fueled injury is… not great, to put it mildly.
