One of the things I'm interested in seeing with "Cloudy" is how it was shot. They developed the CGI environments and then developed a camera system that allowed them to go into a big warehouse and film the scenes with the cameraman looking at the 3-D environment through the lens and essentially moving through it as if they physically existed.

18% uptick to 21 K according to BOM
And has been renewed through Wednesday at my local IMAX.
Then Harry Potter begins, although they are trying to keep Star Trek and get rid of Transformers.
Renewed through next Thursday for the Cinema De Lux in Cincinnati and Louisville - out of the AMC theaters by tomorrow in Newport, KY (sorry BillJ) and Columbus.Well if it should yield the floor to any movie, let it be Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs...

Star Trek had another nice little jump at the box office yesterday: 24,127 on Thursday the 17th. That's up 14.3% from Wednesday and down only 0.4% from last Thursday. Per screen average was $103, the highest non-weekend average it's had since Labour Day.
Domestic total: $257,503,685.

Maybe they should've kept theater count up another week? Oh well.
Oh yeah, and while Trek may not reach $258 million domestic, it should get to $384 million worldwide fairly soon... possibly after this weekend.
Other box office news, if anyone's interested: Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs recently became the third highest-grossing film ever in the foreign market, having taken in over $667 million overseas (by contrast, its domestic haul so far is about $195 million).

Both LOTR:ROTK ($742 million) and Titanic ($1.2 billion) made more.
Healthy per-theater average, too... 
Either way, it won't catch JAWS. Which doesn't really matter anymore since it's passed a buttload of other classic blockbusters nobody ever thought would be outgrossed by a STAR TREK movie of any stripe.
True. So either way JAWS got quite a bigger audience. TREK doesn't have to feel bad about falling short of it.
119 Raiders of the Lost Ark $384.1
120 Star Trek $384.0
It may not catch Jaws but it has one more movie to catch, this is the worldwide take. 100K out now, should make it by next weekend.

The final tally for the weekend was a little lower than estimated, but still pretty solid: $100,316. Down 47.3% from last weekend, but considering the loss of theatres, it's still fairly impressive. Per screen average was $778 (last weekend's was $813).
Domestic total: $257,604,001.
Worldwide total: $383,989,383.

I would expect about 100K from Mon-Sun this week and then the bottom to pretty much fall out.
