The most it can hope to do is $200,000 it just lost over 500 theaters from last Tuesday when it did about that, That would bring it just under $194 million

STAR TREK -$191,014,403

All Trek needs today is 2.9 Million and we are there. When you consider it is now at 4053 screens and last Tuesday it only had 3860 screens and did $3.3 million, I think it's safe to say we are there now.

Time to celebrate, even it misses by a hair today, we will be there Wednesday for sure.

Yes we are the champions, at least until Transformers comes out.
When was the last time Trek was number one? Has it ever happened before?

Anybody gone or going tonight for another viewing?

Trek probably made $2 million or so today. That wouldn't be enough to pass it yet.

If you look at the day after Memorial Day 2008, only one movie made more than $1.7 million, and that was Indy4.

I didn't know that there would be such a drastic drop today, then I saw Ironman's numbers and reality hit me
The only thing is it is day 19 verses day 26 for Ironman. Not a huge difference.
Looks like we need Wednesday to make it now. But that also means Monsters & Aliens might do only $100K then, easier to catch.

I just got back from another screening so I chipped in my part of the 2.9 million.

In terms of money making - it will be interesting to see how Star Trek goes up against Harry Potter, especially. Don't forget that Tarantino has a movie coming out, too. Oops, I almost forgot - Up opens - that will be the huge money maker for the summer.

Harry Potter should do minimum of $280 million, max of $320 million.

With Star Trek and Transformers lighting up the box office, I wonder if anyone at Paramount is thinking... crossover?

People. They already had a crossover. Spock was Galvatron. Didn't anyone see it?

Well, the writers know the material. Maybe they can fix those plot holes this time around.
