Well I think they included the US weekend Box Office but not the foreign box office in that 75-25 ratio, so I'm not so sure about that.
Star Trek - $43M 2nd Weekend - Domestic $148M - Global at $218 M

It hasn't been released everywhere, and Star Trek isn't that strong of a brand in other countries apart from the UK. As someone pointed out, Australia was probably a decent take considering its past record and the population size.

Star Trek must be a uniquely American type movie.. Federation = United States of America. At least maybe that's the perception abroad.
Baby steps though... this one is doing better than the others, so...[/QUOTE]
My bet is most world audiences expected another Nemesis and hadn't seen J.J. Abrams' LOST.
Another way to look at it is this: in Europe and abroad they may have thought Trek was boring and uninteresting for the last 15 years as much as anyone here in the States thought it was boring and uninteresting. What they may not know (as much as we know) is that the franchise has been rebooted and handed over to someone else.
World audiences tend to like big, fun, adventure and romance movies just like American audiences like big, fun adventure and romance movies. The world audience doesn't like techno-babble ridden bore fests anymore than Americans like techno-babble ridden bore fests.
Expect the world box office numbers to increase.

bears an uncanny resemblance to that dude from Pan's Labyrinth
Here in Australia Lost was the number 1 show for its first couple of seasons, and it still quite popular today... I'm pretty sure it would be very well known in most other countries as well. I'm not sure why the movie is not doing too well here, I guess the Star Trek brand is considered fairly geeky and something more American (not to everyone, my family and a few friends of mine love it, but just the general population).
This not entirely accurate. We have look at TNG movies and TOS movies separately when we compare foreign gross vs domestic gross. TNG movie average foreign gross was around 37%, pretty solid. However TOS movies did very poor average foreign gross around 24%. Star Trek seems to follow TOS pattern but this is still early and it still can change.
Oddly it is the Motion Picture who holds the foreign gross record around 41%.
Paramount is now projecting a $250 million final domestic gross for Star Trek and a $150 million final international take for the film.
That would certainly put the film in uncharted waters for the franchise... it would be the highest ever grossing Star Trek film (adjusted for inflation) and would be the first Trek film to ever gross over $100 million internationally.

But isn't HEROES extremely popular in Europe? They should've played up the Quinto as Spock aspect in the (otherwise brilliant) advertising campaign...
Maybe a delayed word-of-mouth response...
Peek-a-boo--I'll Save YOU!
Or else!
Maybe they don't realize that Abrams is connected with both?

Wow, close to $400 million worldwide. I hope they are right. However The Transformed Man you are not quite accurate. The Motion Picture made(adjusted for inflation) roughly $399 million worldwide so it seems to be big battle if Star Trek can overtake The Motion Picture as the highest grossing Star Trek film ever. Also the Motion Picture grossed roughly $162 million internationally. So Star Trek will be the second to make over $100 million internationally.
Re: 42 Million 2nd Weekend Take!
That's only if you don't adjust for inflation, which would be silly comparing dollar amounts over 30 years! Not to knock the current movie, it's doing great.
Right now, Star Trek is the 5th highest grossing movie when you adjust for inflation. When it surpasses $156 million, it'll pass TSFS and be 4th. It'll have to surprass $240 million to exceed TMP and be #1. I wouldn't be surprised if it did that. These are inflation adjusted domestic numbers.

If the new Trek made $250 domestically it would be the highest grossing Trek film adjusted for inflation domestically. But yes, if Trek managed $150 internationally it would be the first Trek film to gross of $100 million unadjusted for inflation. I should have made that a little more clear because you are quite correct it would still fall short of TMPs international adjusted gross.

You mean there is Star Trek merchandise?
This is a thread about the box office take, not the overall revenue Trek makes for Paramount and it's licensees. On that front I don't believe Trek has ever lost money for Paramount.... It's generated billions over the years.

My local one screen cinema has got Star Trek for a few days this week, so as the weather here has been resembling Ferenginar for the last week, I might get out the house and go and add some more to the international gross tomorrow.
