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

Lex Luthor is Superman's greatest villain, not Zod.

 

Absolutely™!
It'd be moronic to say it's impossible.

 

STID opened with $3.1 million in this weekend in Brazil. Whereas Star Trek 2009 grossed only $ 1.9 million, that calls for a celebration. Besides country's media coverage has largely focused on Confederations Cup soccer tournament.
I believe the film range from 10 to 20 million dollars.

 

This is excellent news!

Does this $3.1m figure include the previews from the previous 4 weeks? If so I think it will be toward the lower end of your prediction but hopefully it finishes at the higher end! 5x-10x increase over ST09!

 

I don't think so.
Site Box Office is clear. "The film is already 70% ahead of its predecessor's Brazilian cume after a splendid $3.1 million opening weekend in Brazil"

STID opened on june 14th (friday).

 

On boxofficemojo there are 4 weeks of previews totalling 0.88m. It could be that the 3.1m includes those previews. We will find out when BOM publishes the weekend chart.

The actual went up quite a bit from the estimate thanks to an excellent Father's Day: $6,256,254 for $211,086,948 so far.

The Top 8:

1. Man of Steel - $116,619,362 ($128,681,486 so far)
2. This Is the End - $20,719,162 ($33,027,297 so far)
3. Now You See Me - $11,016,473 ($80,705,916 so far)
4. Fast & Furious 6 - $9,583,330 ($219,723,955 so far)
5. The Purge - $8,317,995 ($51,962,845 so far)
6. The Internship - $7,148,551 ($31,099,912 so far)
7. Epic - $6,284,905 ($95,713,528 so far)
8. Star Trek Into Darkness - $6,256,254 ($211,086,948 so far)

 

It had the least decline among holdover movies, when considering it lost over 800 theaters (only "Now you see me" had a smaller decline but that one added theaters)

 

That's a great hold for STID... should make $235 million domestically.

Yancy

 

every movie was underestimated for the holiday. Stid is close to $412.8 million.

 

It had a 20% increase on Sunday, while most other movies had a decline:

Man of Steel, Star Trek Into Darkness, and Iron Man 3 did great on Father's Day.

 

I guess fathers like sci-fi & comic books.

 

The sooner you'll admit it, Buzzkill, the sooner you'll feel better about yourself.

 

If the next movie is going to come in 2016, it's starting to get crowded already.

Last week Marvel announced an untitled film for May 6, 2016.

And today Sony announced June 10, 2016 for Amazing Spider-Man 3.

 

Why put the next Star Trek film into a summer slot? Why not another slot, where it can dominate the market?

I was looking at the 2016 film schedule at Wikipedia. Someone is making an Angry Birds movie. Why?

 

Currently Into Darkness is Number 8 in the box office sales

Currently, STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS, is number 8 in total box office sales, Does anybody know if during any of the past STAR TREK MOVIES has any movie gone back up after dropping to 8 before? Please advise??

Merging with the box office thread.

 

Studios sometimes try that, but the lower traffic outside of the summer and the November/December frame makes it a risky proposition for big budget films. March is the best month outside of the summer and the end-of-year holidays, but March has only delivered two films that have grossed over $250 million domestic and six that have grossed over $200 million domestic.
