$1.56 million would be around a 37% drop from last Friday. Not terrible or anything, but it is a fairly small 64% increase from Thursday considering it was around 90-100% for the other weeks. I don't think Trek is going to make it to $250 million.

Nice second weekend and third weekend numbers for The Hangover and Up, respectively.

Eddie Murphy should stop making family films now.

I have a theory why the $$ are up,besides it being 'a Friday'.

For a lot of theaters this is the last showing of Star Trek @ IMAX as those theaters make room for Up and other movies,so folks who haven't seen Trek yet are doing so now before its gone from IMAX for good.I just took my folks tonight to see it,and they never got around to watching it before.
 
I am ok with it not making $250 million, even if it didn't make another dime it has already passed my expectations.

Ditto. Although $250 million would have been a nice round number...

Aw, who knows, it might reach it yet. Here's hoping! :bolian:

At $231 million it would only need another $9 million to surpass STTMP as the highest grossing domestic ST release, even adjusted for inflation.

IIRC, it took ST:TMP about six months in first release to make its money. Of course, in those days it was often only showing in one CBD and one suburban cinema per city.

Interesting...Trekmovie suggests that the ticket adjusted gross for STTMP was actually $235 million, and ST 09 will surpass that by the end of the next week.

star trek tmp was before the days that people had the expectation that they could soon see it at home.

while i think action science fiction isnt hurt as much as other forms i really think
that has hurt some character driven type films.

as for imax actually a lot of theatres are bringing it back because till now they were under contract to show night at the museum.

i still think that selection was odd and wish pixar had considered trying to put up in some imax theatres.

our imax has been showing star trek after midnight and just now has added a 930pm
time.
and they may add more times next friday until the transformers film comes out.

oh yeah imax contracts are odd things.
the transformer film is under imax contract for a month.
it is pushing back the imax debut of the harry potter film due to that.

It seems none can give definite domestic numbers for ST:TMP adjusted for 2009 inflation. Mojo says $235 million, westegg.com/inflation says $240.7 million, Box Office says $239.1 million. I think best way is just to calculate how many tickets ST:TMP sold at the box office in 1979.
According to Lee´Movies ST:TMP grossed 82.258 million divided by 2.47* = 33. 303 million tickets sold
According to Mojo ST:TMP grossed 82.258 million divided by 2.51* = 32.771 million tickets sold
It would be interesting to see how many ticket Star Trek sold after it finish it box office run.

It seems Trekmovie is now relaying on Mojo numbers before that they were relaying on Box Office numbers. This is little confusing.

Interesting. How do you come up with this numbers?
 
The best Star Trek can do is $240 million and I think even that may just be a little out of reach but still a wonderful run. WW should end between $120-130 million so a lovely grand total of...

$360-370 million WW makes ST a wonderful success for everyone involved.

My target for sequel if I was paramount would be to break $250 domestic and $150 oversea's meaning the worldwide total would hit past $400 million. However my fear for sequel is that the new-ness rubs off so less casual returns or new blood sees it and the trek fanbase will have lower repeat rates so the sequel could make less domestically, I do think Oversea's will defintly increase for the sequel.
 
Because Star Trek has done well and is well received it should do much better than the first.

Batman, Shrek, Pirates of the Caribbean and Transformers are examples of this.

Shrek 1 267m vs 441m Shrek 2
Batman Begins 205m vs 533m The Dark Knight
POTC 305m vs 423m POTC2
Transformers 317m vs ??? Transformers 2
