It's the Internet; queritor ergo sum.
Bitching is what keeps the entire Trek BBS afloat.
Star Trek pulled in $78,962 on Thursday, down 7.2% from Wednesday, but every film in the Top 20 experienced drops from Wednesday as well. Per screen, it made about $257, which is less than it made on Tuesday and Wednesday, but still better than the Monday-Thursday averages of the previous three weeks.
Domestic total is now at $254,334,469.

Now if ALL the cheap theaters would get it, then it will get a little boost up.

It's pretty much the lowest in the Top 20, but doesn't really matter at this point.
Yeah, it did what it needed to do. And set the stage for the next one.
Yeah, the only other film in the Top 20 (which Star Trek will most likely be out of by next week) to have a lower per screen average for the weekend was My Sister's Keeper, which came in 16th at the box office. Trek appears to be in 20th with the $307,000 that Borgminister mentioned above. FWIW, Trek's average for the weekend was $1,346.
But as has been stated, it doesn't really matter by this point. It may be on its way out, but it's had an incredible run.
Oh, and Star Trek is now officially the 5th highest-grossing film of the year at the domestic box office now. As most people figured would happen, it was overtaken this weekend by The Hangover and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I'll post some figures tomorrow once the weekend actuals are up.

Just got back from my local IMAX anticipating a rather slow Sunday evening for the 8 p.m. Star Trek feature--but 80 plus people showed up, and judging by the laughter and buzz, enjoyed the film. Quite a few clapped at the end.
And the theater manager, when I asked whether was indeed the last week for Star Trek, said that they would know tomorrow--they actually want to keep Star Trek and couple it with Transformers.
That's how good that movie is performing.

In the final numbers the per screen average ended up better than 3 other top 20 movies. But I agree that per screen average doesn't mean much at this point since the number of showings per day has been reduced in many theaters, and also it's in some second run theaters.
Yeah, it's hard to believe it has been almost 3 months.
Looks like Trek was actually in 21st place at the box office this weekend... not that it really matters now.

Star Trek is now definitely the 5th highest-grossing film of the year domestically, as The Hangover and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince both surpassed its take this weekend (although just barely -- the three films are currently almost neck-and-neck, but the two leaders will certainly widen the gap some more in the coming weeks). I'd expect Trek to stay at the #5 spot for some time, however; none of the films below it are likely to overtake ST's position on the list, and most of the big blockbusters are out of the way, so I don't think there'll be much competition from any new films for a while. I suppose G.I. Joe could surprise us and become a huge hit, but I'm a bit skeptical about that, considering how unimpressive the trailers have been... then again, given the popularity of the Transformers films, who knows? Maybe this summer will prove itself to be a lucrative one for another 80s cartoon/toy franchise.
Worldwide, Star Trek stayed at the #6 position, as I figured it would (although I realize that I mistakenly said #7 in my post last week -- my bad
). However, there is a chance it could be surpassed in the not-too-distant future by The Hangover and Up, both of which climbed considerably on this list, buoyed by several new foreign market openings this past week. Indeed, there are still a few markets The Hangover has yet to open in, and about two dozen that Up has not been released in yet, so I expect they will continue to gain momentum on this list as the weeks progress.

Looks like Avatar will contend for top 5, perhaps even higher, given the anticipation for the movie.
What other movies are lurking out there for Christmas release... Jim Carrey's Scrooge comes to mind, but that probably won't break 250.
Or will it?
