Interesting thread to track where Star Trek is on the all time list for rank. I am hoping it can get into the top 50 and stay there for 2009.

Anybody can update this I will start.

#55 Star Trek - $241,361,911 / 2009

Now passing
#54 My Big Fat Greek Wedding - $241,438,208 / 2002 *oh my look at it's budget, here is a movie that made a ton of money

And possibly

#53 Twister $241,721,524 / 1996

Well keep in mind, Trek isn't anywhere near these movies if you adjust for inflation.

yea....

too bad that they spent so much on advertising...hey would have broken records for sure...but then again better safe then sorry...the studio made a tidy profit and we will probably get a sequel so no worries I suppose...

I'd posted something similiar in a different thread a while ago. Been watching it move up the all time list. It has a group of movies in the 245 million range which it should slip by this weekend.....(hopefully)

 

[Jbarney]

Been watching this for a while....go trek.

I thought that STAR TREK's worldwide box office (U.S. included) was a lot bigger than that. It's total of $364,000,000 is barely above WOLVERINE's $360,000,000 total and TERMINATOR SALVATION'S box office of $321,000,000.

TWISTER sucked ass in 1996. It blows now. Nothing but drab, grey special effects and dull acting from two people who can do better. TREK should have blown past this turd long ago.

Ah come on you didn't like that mooing cow in the Twister

Or what about all the sharp objects in the barn that looked like there were in a SAW set "Who are these people?"

I found it to be so campy B style that it was actually funny IMO

 

[cooleddie74]

Okay. The cow was funny.

I'll cede that.

Raiders of the Lost Arc (1981), which Star Trek will pass in raw dollars, is $632 million domestically, controlling for inflation. On MoJo's list of inflation-adjusted all-time domestic box office, Star Trek doesn't even make the top 100. It would need $333 million to do that. Maybe the next one.

Of course, comparing inflation-adjusted take, while better than comparing raw numbers, still isn't a perfect method.

What is a good comparison of movie popularity over time?

 

[An Officer]

I am still shell-shocked this movie has become so huge.

Tickets sold is the best method. Someone on here does it well, I forget who though.

Good question? How a movie is viewed ten years after it's release and is out on Blu-ray maybe?

Wow - I loved Twister. No accounting for taste, I guess.

 

[indranee]

I love disaster movies. they're a total guilty pleasure. I always go on opening day

 

[Jeri]

Wow, I take so much ribbing from the husband about my disaster movies. I troll The Weather Channel for tornado stories even.

 

[perigee]

There are some serious weirdies for that high up on that list, though, aren't there? "Meet the Fockers," "Meet The Chipmunks," "How The Grinch Stole Christmas..." It's like very now and then, the American consciousness short-circuits, and spirals off into Bizzaro-world.

 

[Cassy4]

It's now at #51. Cars is ahead at #50.
