Star Trek, Now Passing _____ #_ _ and moving up.

Heck, just having a modern TREK movie anywhere in the Top 50 even if its at the lower end of the list is just plain awesome.
Has it bottomed out yet? $255 or $256 million seems to be as high as it can realistically get.
It would seem so...
That pretty much ties it with MONSTERS, INC.
Well it's on target to pass Monster Inc. by this weekend. Finally.
Next up I Am Legend which will only need another $525,000 thousand, which it can easily do the following week. It won't catch JAWS though at 260 million.
Once the kids go back to school the box office take will really drop off. And that will be about it. Regardless if it stays on in the cheap theaters $25,000 days take a long time to add up. At that rate it takes 40 days to make
1 million.

Yeah, JAWS has nothing to worry about. It's about four or five million ahead of TREK and it's just not in enough theaters anymore to make up that difference no matter how long it remains out.
Looks like Star Trek won't jump the shark... 
That's pretty illustrious company!
Unfortunately I only have the one kid going to school, the other one's still too young so no sudden freedom to watch Trek as a matinee for me
So has it passed MONSTERS yet? Or will it need another day or two?
So the battle is over. There's no way it'll reach JAWS territory now. So the only remaining question is where it'll settle down on the final day in release.
Both will likely push it down a couple of notches, but it should finish the year no worse than 49th all-time.

One not made in 2002? 
Anything since the failure of TFF in 1989 and the dawn of the TNG era.

What makes the pre-TFF movies um, not modern? Is it the year of production, production values, or what?
Modern as in relative to the rest of the franchise possibly? Though looking at the definition, modern can refer to "present-day."
