    “There are so many other boat movies. And I feel like there are so few that are about like the ecosystem of life on the boat”

  2. industry (release-competition): Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World → Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Fox pushed release to November for effects time, and Pirates in July ate its lunch; the studio worried about a 'boat curse' that Pirates' wild success seemed to lift.
    “Pirates of the Caribbean overperformed so wildly, then made people go like, oh, the boat curses gone.”

    “I hear that Jack Sparrow, like, fences with every member of the cast prior to the Caribbean.”
