Absolutely--and with any legs at all...
Well now we're for sure going to get a sequel! 
I'm with Wil Wheaton; I hope they make 11 more movies with this cast and creative team.

Showbiz Data has its estimate up:
$26.51 million for Friday (which probably includes the midnight numbers) and $30.01 million with Thursday's take included.

Making 30 million+ estimated at 32/33 in another thread, I don't understand why these sites have low expectations for saturday/sunday with this 65-69 talk still. At a minimum the summer opening weekends with a good start like this would make $40 million off the sat/sun days so thats above 70 million for TREK and thats low balling it. Every other movie thats hard such a good 1st day and 2nd day like Iron Man/Wolverine went on to get a high total, why should Trek be different after its proved that new fans have already wtached it.
if the total of Thursday/Friday = $30 million minimum I would hope that Trek makes at least 45 million off sat & sun (25+20 for example) though I think saturday will perform the best out of the 4 day total (3 and a bit day really). So that would be $75 million and that would be my minimum because otherwise the legs are going already if sat/sun post low totals to make 32 only = under 70 come the final total and that would be worrying for me especially for 2nd drop off rate.

I'll take this. And it's mother's day... and school's almost out... I think the numbers will continue to hold steady after this weekend.
Well then am going to say $75 million cause Paramount have been lowballing every estimate when asked
Is Thursday/Friday $30 million or $32/33 as reported earlier in a different thread I think.
Box Office Mojo's estimates: $24 million for Friday and $31 million with Thursday's number included.
All I know is my entire family is loving this movie, and half of them are no trekkies, or even casual fans....I hope word of mouth draws people in that gave up on trek. Its a good movie, and deserves to be a big hit!
Those numbers are highly deceptive for a number of reasons.
-Releasing percentages mean nothing without hard totals.
-What percentage of total consumers even pre-order tickets.
-ST fans were more excited about a ST movie so they may have preordered more, while casual fans just show up.
I aint taking my mum on Mother's Day.
The bitch used to make fun of me for liking ST so she can pay the $12 and go see the fucking thing herself.
my mom introduced me to science fiction... I'd take her.... if I could...
she graduated in 2000....
About 20 or so here. And noticed no lines as we left the theater. Maybe they came later. Maybe.
Whats also odd Is Wolverine is still playing on like 4 screens per theater out here and ST is only on 2.
The studio doesn't count advertising costs when factoring their return.
I believe they do. The rule of thumb has always been that they want double their budget back to encompass the marketing costs.
Thursday and Friday's numbers - if they hold - put Star Trek at the top of the Trek movies in terms of opening weekend. The current winner is First Contact with $30,716,131.
