This is great. I think a sequel is definitley on the cards and hopefully a new TV series.
$76.5 million
- Thread starter urbandk
- Start date
After the sequel though, if it does Dark Knight-like numbers.
Maybe on CBS?

The trek fandom still has power!
They keep harping on the under 25 demographic--well, this figure brought to up by the 34-?? bracket. Older folks with the extra dough to plop down. Taking kids with them if possible.
Oh yeah, and mothers. Take the mothers. What better way to say Happy Mother's Day than Star Trek at IMAX?

Almost $80 million the first weekend? A twelfth movie is a sure bet now. In just three days the Abrams movie made what GENERATIONS did in...what? Several months?

I'm gonna see it again.
You can add at least $12 to that total.

For Generations it looks like boxofficemojo has data only up to $71 million domestic which took seven weeks.
Not shocking, but dissapointing, yes.
You know what I hate? The fricking spyware that they use in their ads. I clicked on that link and my avast! antivirus software immediately sounded its red alert klaxon because Variety was using the 728x90 banner ad which downloads a GZIP payload. Not cool.
Bear in mind that Star Trek opened in 54 markets. Wolverine is currently playing in 102 markets.
Star Trek has made $112 million worldwide in its opening weekend. That's what Star Trek: Insurrection made in worldwide box office in its entire run (although that's without adjusting for inflation).

Does any know how well the movie has done internationally?
Is the $76.5 million just domestically, or does that the TOTAL so far?

$76.5 million is the domestic tally. Its international tally is $35.5 million, for a worldwide total of $112 million.
Don't hold your breath waiting for a new Trek TV series. Paramount's last TV Trek was a failure, while it's newest movie is a huge hit. They're gonna go with what works best, movies, and DVD/blu-ray releases.
And anyway, the last thing I want is yet another uninspired "spinoff" about yet another ship, yet another crew. No one cares, Paramount.

Not really. That sort of figure is very good for the first weekend. If non-US gross hits $40-45m, the film will have done exceptionally well, and far better than any other Trek film. Following historic trends, a $45m non-US gross would give a worldwide gross of around $140m.
Aside from repeat viewings, very few people will watch this film for the first time after the first week of release. I imagine the box office figures in the US will drop off a cliff come next weekend, so this week is very important.
I'd say the final worldwide gross will be somewhere in the range of $350-400 million.
Umm, why? It should get excellent word of mouth, and the reviews are stunning.

I took my Mom, Dad, Grandpa, and two aunts, and everyone seemed to have a great time. Now I just get to sit back and slow smoke bbq ribs until dinner is ready for everyone l8r....
That and the new 22" samsung flatscreen for Mom's Mac should hopefully make up for me not getting flowers this year.
