    I'm sure this is true to some degree, but it does make me feel old! It's clearly a generational thing, but the thought of watching STID via some cruddy download on a PC screen/iPad, or worse, streaming it to a quality monitor, is extremely unappealing to say the least!

    Any of you preorder the limited edition bluray set that comes with the 1/1 scale phaser?

    IIRC it's only available from Amazon...sells for $80.

    Most of the time we know when a movie opens but do we know when STID will be out of theaters completely? The DVD is less than a few weeks away so I wonder when STID officially closes?

    I'm guessing it will be out of theaters before Sept 10th.

    Aug 14th gross: $226,927,100

    It might hit $227.5 million by then, which will be the final domestic total, barring re-release in IMAX.

    No. This is tracking the theatrical box office. DVD sales always go off their own sales tally.

    so dvd home sales have their own tally. what would be considered a good number for the home movie sales to reach? what is the time frame for the sales because obviously months from now people will be ordering copies especially with the holidays coming?

    Another question I have... Does the second-run market count as well? We have several "dollar" theaters here in town and I'm guessing most larger cities do.. How does that figure in?

    So now "honest trailers" and "how it should have ended" are a joint enterprise?

    I finally have long awaited news from Japan!

    Star Trek into Darkness has opened in second place with $2.7m dollars.

    Based on other movies in Japan in 2013 that opening will mean STID will make approximately $10m overall, ST09 made $1.5m OW and $6m total. Obviously my guestimate of $10m could be way off at this point.

    Star Trek foreign gross jumps ahead of domestic: It was raised from $225.5 million to $231.3 million. This $6 million seems like more than the $2.7 million reported for Japan and the likely sub $1 million opening in Argentina. Domestic gross reached $227.379 million. STID is now just under $458.7 million total.
