Fellow International Viewers: How is it doing?

#1 in box office in Taiwan as I read the news online. Some heavy outdoor advertising in Taipei:

And a video of the subway station wrap in Taipei:

Holy moley, I've never seen anything like that subway station wrap.

#1 in Australia with $AU4.6M. That's about $2M less than Wolverine got on opening weekend, but double Insurrection and triple Nemesis on opening weekend.

Cool.

I bet people aren't talking about seeing Wolverine twice unlike everyone I know that saw Star Trek.

I haven't seen Wolverine yet, can't get to the movies easily and won't be wasting a movie night on Wolverine when I could see Star Trek again.

The interesting thing is that Wolverine is on 414 screens with an average of $7,071, and Trek is on 317 with $14,693.

It was number one in Sweden this week-end.

Singaporeans have always preferred Star Wars style space operas to science fiction. There wasn't much marketing for the movie either, so I wasn't too surprised that only 3/4th of the cinema was filled on Thursday night. The audience laughed at the right places, but 95% stood up and left once the credits rolled.

I'm wondering how it's doing down under, too -- that hotbed of Trekdom.

I just saw it for a third time tonight (6th day of release) in Melbourne. The cinema was packed (a really mixed demographic too). Gasps at the right places. Laughs at the jokes. And a big round of applause at the end.

I saw it on Saturday night in a major cinema in Melbourne, Australia and it was packed.

Non-Trekkie work friends and no work friends either are going or have gone to see it which is more than any other trek film where I have only ever been the only interested.
