Box: Arrrrrrrren't we done with this Pirate shit?

1. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides - $92m / $92m / $260m
2. Bridesmaids - $18m / $56.5m / $110m
3. Thor - $17m / $147.5m / $190m
4. Fast Five - $10.5m / $186.5m / $212
5. Priest - $7m / $26.5m / $39m
6. Rio - $5.5m / $132.5m / $144m
7. Jumping the Broom - $4.5m / $32m / $42m
8. Something Borrowed - $3.5m / $31.5m / $39m
9. Water For Elephants - $2.5m / $53m / $58m
10. Soul Surfer - $1.3m / $41m / $45m

Pirates opens - yawn. The question is whether or not the bad taste from the last 2 sequels will have much of an effect. This seems like the movie that 3D could help. It could open north of $100m, but I think just below is where it will settle. Hopefully, the story will be those Bridesmaids and their sexy legs. Its weekday numbers have been incredible, and there's a slim chance it'll have a second weekend that is $20m+.
