Excellent news. I'll be really curious to see how much business Angels and Demons does next weekend. I expect Trek to have a good second week.

Good to hear we made more then estimates.

before I read your post (on page 3) I thought of this fact. and then I turned the page, so to speak, and there you were.
I know we don't all agree even on Trek, but it's so cute that in some ways we ALL think alike when it comes to this show.

Thursday through Sunday I saw it once per day including the initial IMAX outing Thursday night and a $9 matinee after church on Sunday. So "you're welcome" for the big box office.
OTOH I remind everyone that films fade much more quickly these days than in the 20th century despite fabulous openings. I predict a big fall-off after next weekend. People either wanted to see it or are willing to wait for the DVD.

That is indeed a very good sign when the movie makes more than was projected.
Go Star Trek!

Re: FINAL NUMBERS - $79.3 million Over 3.5 Days
great numbers but I'm a little apprehensive. a lot came out of the IMAX showings and from what I could tell, it's the IMAX showings that are packed. so once they're over in two weeks, we're going to see a big decline in attendance, right? or is that already accounted for?
also, I don't know much about these things but why are the IMAX screenings only for 2 weeks? why can't they go on longer?

Doesn't work that way. You can't take a weekend multiplier and extrapolate that out into a final gross.

A&D is tracking in the mid 50's, which is down a bit.

It's because there are only 140 or so screens nationwide and they have contracts to show various movies. The next one is Night at the Museum 2, which opens up on May 22nd.

probably would have been better had it not been on a mother's day weekend. i know quite a few people who didn't get to see it because they were away with families.
The $21 million is very significant for Sunday. That defies the expectations. It is definitely going to have some good legs. It also defied mother's day! Even BETTER!
Per Theater: Star Trek - 3849 - $19,539!

Also you want to see something really amazing? Look at all these recent reboots it has smacked the crap out of and then look at the numbers ($$$) those films did:

Look at the comparison of theaters and the average per theater. Holy cow!

Sweet numbers! Happy to be very wrong (I had $65 million 3 day - with 5 from previews), but next week will be the first real test vs. some competition... Angels & Demons.
Hopefully WOM keeps this ship cruising for some time into the summer!
