- Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is suggested by the 1987 novel On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers as a standalone sequel to At World’s End (2007) and the fourth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series.
- Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is the first film in the series not to be directed by Gore Verbinski.
- During the back-to-back production of Dead Man’s Chest (2006) and At World’s End, writers Elliott and Rossio first learned of Powers’ novel and considered it a good starting point for a new film in the series.
- Pre-production started after the end of the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, with Depp collaborating with the writers on the story design.
- Principal photography lasted for 106 days between June and November 2010, with locations in Hawaii, the United Kingdom, Puerto Rico and California.
- Filming employed 3D cameras similar to those used in the production of the 2009 film Avatar, and ten companies were involved with the film’s visual effects.
- Following inflated production costs which ballooned the net budget to $379 million, the film was the most expensive film ever made at the time of its release.
- Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides was released in the United States on May 20, 2011. The film broke many box office records and was the third highest-grossing film of 2011. A fifth film, titled Dead Men Tell No Tales, was released in May 2017, and a sixth film is in development.
