FINAL WEEKEND NUMBERS - Trek #7 - $5.51 million - $240.3 million

That is very impressive! It is extremely rare for a movie to increase like that, so far out from the release date!
 
I think 'Fathers Day weekend' might be the ideal weekend to release the next one if this weekends gross is any indication.

Well, to be fair, Mother's Day saw the same kind of phenomenon (increased Sunday numbers).

Just make sure the next film has something for everyone, like this one did (does).
 
Well as for Nemesis sales, when it slipped out of the Top 20 DVDs it was up to 1,476,000 units.

I reckon Star Trek XI can shift maybe 6-7 million?

Batman Begins: 10.8 million
Superman Returns: 5.1 million
X-Men: 4 million
X-Men 2: 5.5 million
X-Men 3: 5.3 million
Iron Man: 12.9 million
 
If Nemesis made a fifth of what Star Trek has raked in so far and sold 2 mil DVDs after it's May 2003 DVD release date, shouldn't we be expecting MANY times that number for Star Trek's Xmas release?

You tell us, Chartman.

Extrapolate!

By using maths, I've come up with the relatively simple equation of DVD Sold/Box Office. For Nemesis that gives us approximately 2,000,000/43,254,409 or .0462 DVDs for every Box Office Dollar (DVD/BOD).

Soooo....using that .0462 as a very conservative bottom end and ignoring the polar opposite WoM these movies are getting and how STXI's DVD will drop in time for Christmas while Nemesis dropped in time for Mother's Day...that would give us a current DVD estimate of 11,099,797 DVDs sold.

At an average price of 34.99 for a new release that would pump in an additional 388,381,897.03 into the overall total.

So, on the low end, we're talking about $628,637,237 domestic take if the film stops playing today and the DVD sells as much as Nemesis.
 
He tasks me...

And it's already made ONE BILLION DOLLARS*!!!

















*rounded up to the nearest billion
 
I used to be worried that it wouldn't make $250 million. Now, I think it will surpass it. Great news!
 
If current Hollywood trends hold, then Trek XII could very well pass 1 billion when factoring DVD sales.
