Your prediction will be averaged in with the other players to go against The Prophet's. Three or more films won by the players will result in the top player finisher taking home the Blu-ray prize pot. The Prophet winning three or more means the pot rolls into the next round and is added to.

The players won the last round 3-2 so slugbug takes home Skyline on Blu-ray. The new prize is Muay Thai Giant on Blu-ray.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Where Captain Jack Sparrow goes, money follows. The question for the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film is not whether it will win the weekend or not. It will, by a lot. But if it will cross the $100 million mark in its first three days. Pirates 3 opened to $114.7 million back in 2007 without the benefit of 3D. Are people getting burned out on this series? Opens on 4,000 screens. All: $96.2   Me: n/a   Prophet: $98.6   Actual: $90.2 Thor Thor enters this third weekend having won two in a row. Last weekend it hauled in $34.7 million, a 47% drop from its opening frame. Pirates 4 will steal many of Thor's 3D screens, plus Bridesmaids has been beating Thor during the past few days, so expect a similar if not bigger drop this weekend. All: $18.6   Me: n/a   Prophet: $17.2   Actual: $15.5 Bridesmaids Bridesmaids soared past expectations last weekend by opening to the tune of $26.2 million, nearly double what studios were thinking it would make. It's continued playing strong during this past week, and could see some spillover from Pirates 4 sellouts. All: $16.7   Me: n/a   Prophet: $18.8   Actual: $20.9 Fast Five Fast Five revs into its fourth weekend after sustaining only a 37% drop from the previous weekend. As with Thor, Pirates 4 is sure to steal some of its business and push it lower. Another strong weekend could send it close to the $200 million mark. All: $12.0   Me: n/a   Prophet: $12.7   Actual: $10.6 Priest 3D The only reason Priest is here is because Pirates 4 is the only new opener this weekend. Otherwise Priest would be long gone. As it stands, Priest opened to $15 million last weekend and like most horror films should see a sizable drop in it second weekend. All: $7.0   Me: n/a   Prophet: $7.2   Actual: $4.8
