Weekend 8 Numbers - Star Trek #8 - $3.6 million - $246.2 million
- Thread starter MvRojo
- Start date
Another 2 movies are coming within the next 4-5 years... aren't you happy?
I sure am. To combine near universal critical acclaim with top 5 for 2009 box-office numbers is a great accomplishment.
Star Trek has a future again... Engage.

Can I assume you're referring to Tranformers haters too, since it's doing so well?
That remains to be seen... ask me again once I've seen those movies and I'll tell you whether they made me happy or not. This one passed the time, but I really feel it was a missed opportunity.
Fair enough. I'll just go watch it again July 1st at my local IMAX--a real screen and superb sound.
The opportunity you speak of was created by this very movie, which is what makes it so special IMO.
There now can be future movies that cover those final frontiers with the introductions out of the way.
One thing's for sure though, whatever the story, it has to remain "popcorn" enough for the masses to come. Lord help us if it becomes pedantic a la Nemesis (which I liked too), because that'll be all she wrote.
It will definitely make it now. It should get to $248 million after Thursday (assuming a 25% drop from last week for Mon-Thurs). And another $2 million is pretty easy next weekend since the film has been dropping around 35% on weekends.
Yeah at this rate $260m seems reachable.
I couldn't disagree more. WALL-E is one of the best science fiction films I have seen in a long, long time.
FemurBone will get around to telling you.
Not bad for a country with a population of 21,829,372.
I never doubted it.
I've got to make sure one of my local theaters will still be playing it over the July 4th weekend. I still want to get in at least one more showing.
I like this one.
That's ok; we're in pretty much uncharted territory around here -- especially with Squiggy gone.

You are a trooper. I'm trying to decide if I stop here, at 20 times. Saturday we drove 30 minutes to a theater where it was still playing, and my husband found the seats there painful. So, I don't know if I'll be going again.
Yeah, I'm practicing what it's going to feel like when I can't go anymore. It kills me I won't be able to see it on the big screen, so I probably will go again, even if I have to drive 30 minutes by myself.Wimp.

My IMAX will have it SOON so I'll be going 2-3 more times, wife permitting...
I am really happy for you!My IMAX will have it SOON so I'll be going 2-3 more times, wife permitting...
My husband has been incredible; he's never been a particular Star Trek fan, and he's gone with me probably 15 times. I'm beginning to wonder, in fact, whether perhaps I only have six months to live, and nobody's told me.
^^ True that.
Now, if only Pixar would create a Star Trek movie, even I would be thrilled with it
. But at least I have John Carter of Mars to look forward to from them, at long, long last ... (okay, Disney, but it's still Andrew Stanton of Pixar spearheading the thing, which is what's important).You took the words out of my mouth. IT WILL hit $260m no problem, (so as long its still in theaters another few weeks).
