Ok shut up crybaby
I really don't see the problem. Wolverine opens a week prior to Trek, and advance reviews have pretty much panned Wolfie, while they've sung Trek's praises. I figure that Wolverine will open strong, then word of mouth will confirm the advance reviews, and thereafter audiences will stay away from it in droves, save for a few ultra-diehard Jackman fans.
I seriously don't anticipate it'll give Trek much competition at all.
The real trick will be if Trek can do sufficiently well at the box office before Terminator 4 opens. And while many are looking forward to the new Terminator film, it's important to remember that the last film pretty much bombed, and the Terminator television series hasn't done all that well in the ratings either. That said, it's entirely possible that the Terminator franchise is every bit as dead as pre-Abrams Trek was, and that the only people who'll show up are diehard fans, as opposed to more mainstream audiences. So once again, it may not prove to be much competition.

Dude! That's not cool...
I don't want to see any more name-calling, please.
Speaking of name-calling, Captain X:
Being sneaky about it isn't any better than doing it out in the open, as he did. It's just sneakier. Now, knock it off.
I really hate this whole trek vs wolfie crap, both movie will do great. I do hope trek do better, being more of a trek fan than xmen, but i be happy star trek does good enough for a sequel. Thats all i care about.
WOW i didn't actually read the article till after i post. After reading the article, i am little concern for star trek. Doesn't look good.
compared to my usual 3-6 on any Star Trek movie I used to fork out?...
My guess is Wolverine 90 million, Trek 40 million
they may be underestimating the negative feelings that x3 caused in a lot of the people who saw it.
the question is that this is a prequel and not xmen make enough difference.
and what kind of impact is that leaked copy going to have.
unlike the good press coming with the trek previews there has been a lot of negative
word of mouth about wolverine since then.

Honestly, I thik Wolverine has its audience - the X-Men crowd/fanbase. It will draw large first weekend. The buzz round this movie is small, non-fans are not going to rush and see it.
However, the buzz is definitely pro-Trek. There are people who I have heard say - "WOW, I'm not a Trek fan, but I wanna see that movie". Now, will they go first weekend? Who knows, but I think that sort of buzz will help in the long run and give the movie legs in the box office. Plus the whole IMAX thing has to add a little bit more $$$ to the pot.

Wasn't the leaked copy an unfinished version of the film??
That may or may not mitigate its monetary outcome a bit, once people actually get to see the real thing.

Yes, many have.
Many were not impressed.
**DISCLAIMER: Watching leaked movies is bad... even not-so-good ones.**
You must have missed the point of me being sarcastic?!?!?There's the Spirit....
WE keep this up, it might actually make it to $200 Million !!!
Trek will make a lot more than 40 million remember with inflation included the older Trek movies make alot more. The fanbase will turn out in droves AKA FC and not Nemesis but this one will bring in some new viewers or casual viewers.
First Contact adjusted is around (I think)...
$148,984,986 in the US Box office
$75,492,493 in the Worldwide Box office
= $224,477,479 grand total
If FC can do that I would hope we can push the overall total close or past $300 million.
