    So, given your insight, would they say (to coin a phrase) "we're all very pleased"?

    Since the film is going to turn a healthy profit - for the studio, the term "very pleased" is definitely applicable.

    Prime Trek is dead, despite how STiD does or fails to do. So-called "Trek Purists" seem to have a hard time understanding this.

    Agreed!

    Opening day admissions in France according to the BoxOffice.com forums: 88,477, compared to 59,970 for Star Trek.

    Box Office Mojo hasn't updated for a while, but the folks in the forums over at boxoffice.com are figuring this is currently at about 210 million international gross.

    So it's made more than double it's $190,000,000 budget? What a flop! What a failure! Star Trek is dead!

    So assuming this is true (and it seems likely), $203 million domestic $210 million international= $413 million surpassing the inflation adjusted WW gross of ST09 in just 5 weeks (ST09 played till Sept).

    The numbers are unreliable from the period, but STTMP made $430 million adjusted. STID needs $17 million to tie that:

    STTMP: $430 milliom
    STID: $413 million (unoffical)
    ST09: $408 million

    I love the "inflation adjusted" tweak to the posts... :D

    It should end up with at least $480-490 million and has a decent shot at going over $500 million.

    I seem to have hit a raw nerve but, quite frankly, STID is nowhere near the blockbuster Paramount must have hoped it would be. After a sizable budget increase, followed by a very agressive/expensive overseas marketing campaign, box office results seem mixed at best.

    Domestic box office:
    ST09: 172% of film budget
    STID: 107% as of 6/11

    International box office:
    ST09: 85% of film budget
    STID: 93% as of 6/11

    Worlwide box office:
    ST09: 257% of film budget
    STID: 199% as of 6/11

    Bottom line: Generously speaking (since additional marketing costs haven't been taken into account), at this point STID would have to earn at least an additional $100 million worldwide (for a total of $488 million) just to match ST09's ROI.

    Yes, the film is doing "fine" and yes, there will be another, but I can safely predict that those at Paramount looking at the bottom line must be disappointed by STID's overall performance and I will bet anyone credits to navy beans that we will see a significant budget cut for the next film.

    Yeah, it's doing HORRIBLY overseas - and no one's seeing it in the U.S. -- oh, wait...

    What matters is the bottom line - profit; and between the combined BO (domestic and overseas); PPV and pay movie channel contracts, Blu-Ray and DVD sales (again domestic and overseas and with the film appealing more to foreign audiences then ST2009 did...); over the years - yes, this film will bring in more money than ST2009 did.

    Semi-reliable blog says Paramount quietly greenlit Star Trek 3 and GI Joe 3 last week.

    Was that when (IIRC) ST09 went back into the IMAX theaters (when there was a opening)? I know I saw it a few more times in IMAX after it's run in the cheap theaters, but I couldn't remember if it was in the month of September.

    Here's hoping that STiD does another run in IMAX! :techman:
