Who is the competition?

I think the Wolverine movie is coming out next May. IIRC, two weeks after Trek XI.

The Hannah Montana Movie
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
5/8
Star Trek
5/15
Angels & Demons (DaVinci Code Sequel)
5/22
Night at the Museum 2
Terminator Salvation 4
Trek is in good shape as it has a weekend to itself. There is no such thing as getting two weekends without a big movie during the summer.

Wolverine poses the biggest threat...
It wouldn't be the first time she's killed. It won't be the last.
Honestly, I could see that movie actually making a lot of money. But it's at least a different audience, so it won't hurt Trek. Wolverine would have slightly more of an impact, so we'll have to see about that one. If that's really all the movies coming out, Trek will have a decent shot of doing well.

Vice Admiral
Why is it a "threat" at all?? Seems to me that most fans of the genre would likely go and see both films multiple times.
Some people do get out of the house more than once in the summer.
isnt there some chance both are going to be delayed due to how long it took to get restarted due to the writers strike.
Agreed.
Maybe we can get Wolverine to fight with Hannah Montana, leaving the field clear for Star Trek.
Trek looks pretty well positioned.
As for "Wolverine..." the luster is off of that franchise and while the movie may do very well it's not likely a giant killer.

Wolverine will provide some competition, but Trek is likely the biggest movie of May. XMen 3 had a 67% dropoff for its second weekend, which is pretty big...and lost out to a comedy (The Breakup).
It is still likely Trek will only get one #1 weekend with the DaVinci sequel. However that is pretty common. Last summer's Transformers made over 700 mil world wide and had only one #1 weekend for example. Sometimes you get lucky like with Iron Man. The buzz on Speed Racer was so bad that it didn't provide competition. Proving that the quality of the film is probably the biggest variable.
So lets hope that the Angels and Demons looks like crap!

I dunno. I'm kind of hoping both will do well. I loved the book Angels and Demons, and am looking forward to the on screen version.
I'm sorry but my obsessive compulsive nature got the better of me and i had to fix this:
1/5/09
The Hannah Montana Movie
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
8/5
Star Trek
15/5
Angels & Demons (DaVinci Code Sequel)
Bruno
22/5
Night at the Museum 2
Terminator Salvation 4
Much better.
^ those dates are unlikely to even apply in Britain, you realise that? 
I can only see X-Men Origins being competition of those movies, the rest don't stray much, or at all, into Trek's genre. And I don't see it being that much competition. I wish it was coming out after though, if its lame, which it almsot certainly will be, might put people out of the movie going mood the next weekend.

He did say something about "obsessive compulsive nature", though.^ those dates are unlikely to even apply in Britain, you realise that?
I didn't check the other titles, but the date for Star Trek at least seems to be correct.
