They probably won't even make their $6 billion dollar advertising budget back.

They're clamoring I tells ya!
All I know is, everyone I see on the street asks me "What about Odo!? What about Grand Nagus Rom?!"?Well clearly they screwed up, they should have made that TNG/DS9 crossover movie that the public was clamoring for.

^ Star Trek won't be successful until they make an Enterprise movie. You just watch. Each new Trek movie will fail like this one until we see the ENT crew on the big screen!!!

I'm thinking T4 will open bigger, but not have the legs that Trek will have and ultimately make less. T4 is not going to get the adult audience the way Trek is powering through them.

BoxOfficeGuru seems to think that this will go to $250 million domestic which I would agree with after this weekend.
Assuming it has a worse hold than IM had over Memorial Day, it can still make somewhere around $33-34 million. Add that to the next week's weekday grosses, which could be somewhere around $12-15 million, and Trek will be at close to $200 by Memorial Day Monday. It will easily get another $25 million and probably $50 million if its holding that well.
I think $400 million is a little bold by Paramount as is the $150 million oversea target. I think maximum we can do is...
* $225 in the US
* £130 oversea's
but still $355 would be a great but hey if am wrong then yeh $400 million

I'm reposting this because I want to and I updated the international number. We're actually just shy of $218 million worldwide now.
The weekend estimate for Star Trek's domestic box office is $43.1 million, bringing its estimated domestic gross to $147.7 million. This represents an 42.7% drop from its opening weekend. This is a fantastic number following a huge opening weekend. Trek easily weathered the opening of Angels & Demons, which underperformed with $46.6 million.
Trek had an amazing 55.5% increase from Friday to Saturday, eclipsing the 1.3% increase from its opening weekend.
Note that the $43 estimate is based on a 29.6% Sunday decline. In its first weekend, Trek only experienced a 22.7% Sunday decline. If Sunday does better than expected, the final number could be anywhere from $1-2 million more.
This is better than the 48.1% drop Iron Man experienced on its second weekend (down to $51.2 million) and in line with the 43.4% drop Batman Begins had (down to $37.6 million). Also, Wolverine dropped 69% on its second weekend down to $26.4 million (a sizable $17 million less than Trek).
The total worldwide box office is over $218 million ($147.7 domestic + 70.3 international).

And ST 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 are sophisticated? Not sure whether u consider any of the other trek films sophisticated compared to this one but this one was light years ahead of the other ones.....
TWOK is considered the best, but the motion picture is the only movie in the franchise dealing with logic and "big ideas"...and suffered big time as a result

The estimates are already going up.
I know at the theatre I went to today, all the IMAX shows were sold out and at least one of the regular showings was as well.

The story I heard at work is being repeated across the nation.
One of my co-workers was telling me her whole family, is going tonight. They didn't go before because they were waiting for word of mouth, and then they needed to arrange for baby sitters, in other words after the opening weekend they needed to make plans to see it this weekend.
So I think Sunday's numbers will be strong, and of note Canada has a national holiday on Monday called Victoria day those numbers go into the US numbers so that should help too.

If you had told me this Thursday or Friday I wouldn't have believed it was possible. Yesterday, I got a text from my brother, who manages a movie theater, about 4 pm. He said that up to that point Star Trek was doing about 50% more business than Angels and Demons for the day. At that point, assuming his theater was in any way typical of what was happening nationally, I knew that Star Trek had a good chance to finish much closer to A&D than I had originally thought. I'm taking this as a further sign that the movie will continue to perform well, even in the face of competition from Terminator next week. I think it may end up close to $300M in the US.

Look how close we are.

This is truly amazing!
Yup. Either way, Star Trek will be the #1 movie of the year starting sometime next weekend. It probably will only have that crown for a month or so until Transformers 2 comes out, but it will still be awesome to say, "Star Trek is the NUMBER 1 movie of the year!"
