That's a little misleading since both Superman Returns and Batman Begins had their openings on Wednesday, not just at night either. So it's opening weekend was essentially dilluted over 5 days, which led to a smaller weekend number.
FINAL NUMBERS - $79.2 million Over 3.5 Days

Seemed like The Dark Knight stayed for a while in IMAX, even alongside whatever the next IMAX film was going to be.

Dang, you always catch these things. Boo. However, it did beat Batman Begins in total numbers up to that point and Batman had a 1.5 day head start. That I would argue is pretty hawt. And it was a very close second to Superman with the same 1.5 day head start. And you can't deny that $19,000 per theater is amazing. Give me some love Mv!

It's opening weekend tracking numbers.

$79 million, and thats just the domestic take, that doesn't count international.
Star Trek has been revivied. It has a steady heart beat. I was worried that it may not have been able to come back after flat lining when Nemisis came out.

That looks pretty threatening. Although looking over Da Vinci code and its numbers, looked like about 60 mill, that's saying some bad stuff about Angels. It must not be doing well with name recognition.

It being Memorial Day weekend and the official "school's out" week, there will be plenty of butts to put in seats--Trek will continue to draw an audience, even if not as large.

Yeah, Trek is lucky it's third weekend is Memorial Day weekend. Since it's going to lose its IMAX screens, having a 4-day weekend will soften its drop.

Apparently families were going to the movie on Mother's Day! That's hitting outside the target market all right. 
Very very good sign for broad based appeal.

Interesting... can't the IMAX people change their minds given the unprecedented numbers?
I know the IMAX in my neck of the woods shows "sloppy seconds" (Watchmen right now), but I'd love to wait another few weeks if the 1st run IMAXes want to continue showing the film.

I figure they have some contractual obligations, but I'm not really sure. If it under-performs, they could also have a clause that allows them to dump films earlier.

That's a great deal. Mine was $16.50 for IMAX.
I have a feeling this movie will have strong legs during its second weekend.
Does anyone know how much it made today (Monday)?

We won't know until late morning.
As an aside, Canada did its part in contributing to ST's opening weekend haul.

1) Star Trek $5.44 million(Canadian dollars)
(The "domestic box office" is USA + Canada, so this is already included in the $79.2 million.)
