With those numbers I think a $47-50 million dollar weekend is very, very do-able. Fanfrickintastic!

Yup. ST is having better legs than expected!. I think I way undersold this movie at 38-40 million, I think it has a outside shot at 50 Million! Although thinking about it, 44 million would be rocking.
It could help that reviews for
Angels and Demons are so bad. Only 33 percent fresh among RT top critics, 40 percent overall.
The Washington Post trashed it, this morning. Among those who may have been considering flipping a coin over which movie to see this weekend, that may lean things in Trek's favor a bit.
And, Tim Cowilshaw of
The Dallas Morning News gave shout out to the movie at the beginning of ESPN's "Around the Horn", yesterday. When he was introduced, he raised his right hand in the Vulcan salute and said how he was excited that he was going to see the new
Star Trek movie this weekend. Only around 750,000 viewers watch that show, but I have a feeling most of the viewers are in the demographic Trek is trying to get. Hey, every bit helps.
