Pirates of the Caribbean sailing towards this week's Official Video Chart Number 1

Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge has no trouble walking the plank on this week's Official Video Chart Update.

In today's midweek indicator of the final Official Video Chart standings set for Sunday, the swashbuckling adventure starring Johnny Depp is (ship)wrecking the competition, and has sold 97,000 DVD and Blu-ray units in just three days.

Should Salazar's Revenge hit the Number 1 spot on Sunday, it will continue a perfect record of Number 1s for the Disney franchise. Curse of the Black Pearl shifted a million copies just a fortnight and spent the longest at Number 1 (six weeks), while Dead Man's Chest enjoyed the biggest success with 1.2million sales in its first seven days on sale.
