They are smart people, they knew the movie wasn't going to be as good as TWOK.

 

Most of them have likely never seen The Wrath of Khan. Just because Trek fans are OCD about it doesn't mean general audiences are.

I see they did a 60/40 split with World War Z instead of 50/50. Well, that's fine. They were determined to get World War Z to 200 million, by hook or by crook.

 

Actually, if you look at the full weekend chart and check the theater counts, WWZ was in almost 300 more theaters overall than Trek. Only certain chains were showing the double feature.

 

STID made the most on a Tuesday since July 17th. Up 392% from last week.

Just saw the 9 pm show in IMAX in Singapore. About 15 people in the theatre, its a small theatre. Not terrible for an old movie on a Thursday night.

 

Yes, that's what I meant. 1247 vs. 958.

 

That's all she wrote.

 

Last gasp: Another $2.6 million overseas. $465.4 million total

 

That's awesome.

Now, how are the DVD and Bluray sales?

 

With ST09 there was a press release a week or so later that said 5.7 million sold, so I think we should get something saying about 2 million sold this time because the sales of BR/DVD are dropping every year.

Then in a few months they will be on the-numbers.com

 

I'm guessing 3 years.

 

2016 100% (there's no way they WOULDN'T release it in the year that's the 50tyh anniversary of the debut of TOS on NPC.)

If they don't release in that timeframe, someone at marketing/promotion will get fired.
