STID "tracking" for $85-90 million opening [U.S. box office]

Coming in May 2016! Star Trek XIII: The First Mission, starring Robert Duncan McNeil as James T. Kirk and Alexander Enberg as Mr. Spock. Screenplay by Brannon Braga.

 

Continuing the trend, it looks like STiD could beat 09 in China by 400-500 percent

Tuesdy numbers

#3 STAR TREK: ID $3.4M

 

Tuesday actual:

$3,438,458 for $159,452,337 to date.

 

^^^
A 65% drop is standard the day after Memorial Day.

 

Thats almost a half million more than I predicted. Great!

 

Trek also made $2.7m in China today as well. No idea if that is good or bad so let's assume good

Maybe we will get a $20-30m dollar overseas week?

 

According to BOM, Star Trek '09 made 8.6M total in China, so I would say that is very good.

 

It's exciting to see it do so well in China! It's like we're seeing some kind of history being made.

 

OK. So we are at $102,100,000 overseas at the moment.

If I add all of Star Trek 2009 totals from the countries STID is yet to open in + $35m from CHINA (Might not get that much, but lets be optimistic!)

$102m is the total so far.
$30m to come from those countries that have already opened (guess, might be way off)
$35m from CHINA (might happen now!)
$35m from countries yet to open, at ST09 levels.

$202m total​

---------------

Now lets assume the gross from the other opening countries excluding China increases from ST09 by:

30% increase = $45m - $212m Total
50% increase = $52m - $219m
80% increase = $62m - $229m
100% increase = $70m - $237m​

So I think at the moment the range for the overseas total is between $195-$240m and WW total of between $415-$480m

Also I believe the marketing in SE Asia focuses more on Benedict Cumberbatch. If Trek makes big $$$ from SE Asia I bet Cumberbatch will be back in the next one.

 

Sophisticated British men are a "thing" for Korean and Japanese women in the same way "tall, dark, and handsome" is in the US. I have no doubt Cumby has initiated a few "squwees!" here and there.

 

OK, finally saw the movie and contributed my $17 to the boxoffice totals (damn, the movie prices are getting high!). Hell of a movie though.

 

so you liked it, huh?

 

I would agree that US$30m more from the countries it has already opened in is low.

i.e. Box Office Mojo figure for the UK = US$12.95m

UK Box office upto the 26th May = GB£19.42m = US$29.1m Which means the UK alone will have added something like US$17m

I saw it again, yesterday. That makes twice, now.

I'm doing my part!

BoxOffice.com is reporting $261,552,337 worldwide gross as of 28th.

The film opened in China with 25m CNY on its opening day (that's $4.04 million. The total Chinese box office for the same day was 11 million, so STID took a sizeable percentage.) The Chinese are predicting it will take in $25m in the first week.

They might, because there will be a Star Wars movie in the summer of 2016. It's been widely reported that there will be one each year starting 2015.

 

I'm still sticking with a $18-20 Million Sat-Su,. mainly because there are no "must-see" releases and Epic and TH3 are not much competition, and STID's word of mouth is winning the day.

 

^^^
Star Trek made $17 million on the Sat-Sun of its third weekend, and that was with the inflated business of Memorial Day weekend. $18-20 million for Sat-Sun for STiD on a regular weekend would be a Herculean task. I think it'll make $18-21 million for the full Friday-to-Sunday weekend.
