Star Trek - $7.50 million on Monday

Re: Star Trek - $7.64 million on Monday

By the way, this could cross $100 on Wednesday, which would make it only the second Trek film ever to do so, unadjusted.

It's doing great. But, if you adjust for inflation, 7 of the previous 10 Trek movies have exceeded $100 million in current dollars. Shoot, even Final Frontier got $90 million in current dollars. So, it's a no brainer that this movie will exceed $100 million.

Mr Awe

I think the important point here is we are comparing 5 days to the entire gross of the other Star Trek movies...

Unless they contrast the cost of making the movie with what it made adjusted for inflation, those figures are incomplete.
 
I'll be buying the blu-ray when it comes out. I only reserve that for the movies that I love.

BTW, a friend's 8 year old daughter wants to see Star Trek, because she's heard such good stuff about it. (I had no influence on this). My friend wanted to know if it was okay to send her to it.

The answer, of course, is yes. :D

Depending on her temperament.
 
my niece (8 years old) wants to see it. but my bro and sis in law said no. I think it's partly because she (my niece) has shown a prior tendency to cringe at loud noises. but she's already a serious gamer :p and loves both Trek and SW. so you can guess she is NOT a happy camper. every time I talk to her, she' s like "why why why can't I go see Star Trek?!?!?" I'm like, ask your daddy and mommy!

oh well. I so want her to see this. but I've a feeling it's gonna be the DVD/blu-ray for her. if she was mine, I'd take her to see it in a heartbeat.

I always take earplugs to the movies; and I used them in this one. Maybe your relatives would go for that.
 
A 14% drop is a little bit larger than expected.

For comparison, Batman Begins dropped 18.5% on its first Tuesday (to $5.4 million) and Iron Man drop 6.2% to $6.5 million.

Should pass 100 mil by the weekend then?

Be right at it by Wednesday, probably past it after Thursday. Pretty much guaranteed at least 5-6 mil, if not better, the rest of the week until Friday.

More good news for Trek, Angels and Demons will probably have mixed reviews looking at rottentomatoes.com (it's the bigger critics that are panning it, of course that New York guy panned Star Trek too). http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1189217-angels_and_demons/?name_order=desc

What NY guy panned Star Trek? The reviews I saw in the NY Post (3-1/2 out of 4 stars) and the Daily News (5 out of 5 stars) were both extremely positive.
 
I have half a mind to go see it again today to see how the crowd is, but I'm already committed to seeing it again this weekend anyways. But I'd love an excuse to go again before then.... ;)

Haha...that's a terrible, terrible reason. I bought tickets last night for Friday and Sunday (my 5th and 6th showings).

Ebert, the Chicago guy, panned it; Chicago/New York, New York/Chicago. What's the difference, eh? ;)
 
to be fair, Ebert sounded like he was a bit constipated during his writing of the review. :p
Not to mention plain wrong. He carped about the parachute scene: [whining]"Why didn't they just transport them to the mining platform...?[/whining] -- when it was said about five times that the driller disrupts transporting.

Don't get me wrong; I love the Sun-Times. We have taken a Sun-Times suburban daily paper for years. But Ebert has had some weird likes and dislikes.
