Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is a 2006 American fantasy
swashbuckler film. It is the second installment of the Pirates of the
Caribbean film series and the sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean: The
Curse of the Black Pearl (2003). It was directed by Gore Verbinski,
written by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, and produced by Jerry
Bruckheimer. In the film, the wedding of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom)
and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) is interrupted by Lord Cutler
Beckett (Tom Hollander), who wants Turner to acquire the compass of
Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) in a bid to find the Dead Man's
Chest. Sparrow discovers his debt to Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) is
due.Two sequels to Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black
Pearl were conceived in 2004, with Elliott and Rossio developing a
story arc that would span both films. Filming took place from February
to September 2005 in Palos Verdes, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines,
Dominica, and The Bahamas, as well as on sets constructed at Walt
Disney Studios. It was shot back-to-back with the third film of the
series, At World's End.Dead Man's Chest was released in the United
States on July 7, 2006, and received mixed reviews, with praise for
its special effects, direction, action sequences, Hans Zimmer's
musical score, humor, and performances, particularly those of Depp and
Nighy, but criticism for its convoluted plot and running time. The
film broke several records at the time, including the opening-weekend
record in the United States with $136 million, the fastest film to
gross over $1 billion at the worldwide box office (63 days), the
highest grossing first sequel at the worldwide box office and became
the highest-grossing film of 2006 and the third highest-grossing film
of all time (behind Titanic and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of
the King). It currently ranks as the 35th highest-grossing film of all
time worldwide and was the highest-grossing film distributed by Disney
until it was surpassed by Toy Story 3 in 2010. The film received
Academy Award nominations for Best Art Direction, Sound Editing, Sound
Mixing, and won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. Its sequel,
At World's End, was released the following year.
