Trek had the lowest decline in the Top Ten versus last week at only 26%. Dropped 20.7% from Wednesday which is higher than normal, but not unexpected since Wednesday was much higher than expected. Star Trek is losing 484 theatres (21%) down to 1823.

Transformers 2 looks to be on track for $195-$200 million by Sunday. Up should pass Trek on Saturday as the #1 movie of the year.

International Gross: $123,593,408
Global Gross: $366,212,622

It always blows my mind when any movie performs like Transformers 2 (or Dark Knight last year).

Nice steady hold for Trek. I think $3.5M for the weekend will be a good showing.

 

[urbandk]

It blows my mind that so many people would want to see a film like Transformers 2. Check your brain at the door.

Looks like we'll cross the $250 million mark by the beginning of next week.

 

[Blue_Trek]

I wonder if UP will catch Trek before Transformers does

It should. Up should pass Trek on Saturday, Transformers will have to wait until maybe Tuesday.

At least it's still in the Top 10 and thriving. By this point, NEMESIS was doing worse than a Jim Jarmusch film about colonoscopies.

What a shitty thing to say...

Looks like we're headed out of the big city and into the burbs if Chartman's latest update is any indication.

The spires are giving way to bumps.

 

[Squiggy]

This weekend won't be pretty.

And just a heads up, Chartman is going on vacation with Graphboy. We'll be on Fire Island doing manly things and sweating alot so no charts until July 3.

Some bumpy things can be fun.

(*Coughs*)

THAT said...I'm just happy the quarter-billion mark is upon us and we can rest assured of another kickass(hopefully)STAR TREK movie in the next 2 to 2-1/2 years.

Don't hurt yourself...

Is there a Diagramman (or Diagramma'am) out there somewhere?

As for the weekend, well, I wouldn't count Star Trek out of the top 10 yet with the way other movies are dropping in relation to it.

Yes, the drop in theater count will hurt, but in the larger metropolitan/suburb areas, Star Trek is likely still playing or at least in reasonable driving distance.

So if TR2 sells out, Trek will handle the overflow.

My theater still has 5 showings, and the local IMAX will be getting it "SOON" too.

Keep the faith... and let the fade continue to be slow.

Summer 2011 is my vote...

Turn your head before you cough, though...

Well, transformers 2 was terrible. So that said, it should make one bajillion dollars

I get the feeling they'll put the #12 release off until Thanksgiving or Christmas to bolster a competitive Holiday film season. But...I could be dead wrong and we'll see it six months sooner.

Didn't a little film called The Titanic come out around Christmas time?

I still think Trek would make more money in the summer for some reason... unless it is critically acclaimed and brings in 11 Oscars.

That I would prefer, but I won't be on the lookout for flying pigs.

 

[Squiggy]

Action movies are better suited for summer release. Romantic movies are geared towards winter released.

What's interesting is that it's holding on to theater's. Which means it has enough butts in the seats, to give it holding power.

Trek - 2307
T4 - 1360
A+D - 1251
Wolverine - 341

T4 poor showing allows it to keep more theater's longer

Final Number: $556,030
