First Trek To hit the 1/4 Billion mark!

[Blue_Trek]

As you will see from this, This Trek has gone where no Trek has gone before.
With the total box office take worldwide growing to 30% foreign share at over $75 million. If it it follows First contact that could grow to as high as 40% when it's all said and done. But as of May 23/09 we can safely say that this Trek has crossed over the $250 million mark in worldwide ticket sales.

If it does not make n + $10 million, I will consider it a complete failure and the death of Star Trek.

 

[Flake]

This is now up to 3.73 Nemesises ! Might get to 6 Nemesises when its finished!

 

[Stardate]

All these numbers you are referring Blue Trek is unadjusted for inflation.This is the most INACCURATE comparison of the box office success of each Trek film. Here is some more accurate info http://boxoffice.com/featured_stories/2009/05/the-history-of-trek.php

As you will see from this, This Trek has gone where no Trek has gone before.

Actually the Motion Picture worldwide gross adjusted for inflation surpassed 1/4 billion mark in 1979-80. Star Trek is second.

These numbers are insignificant because they do not take inflation into account.

The new film still has quite a way to go to top the biggest ST films.

I am tired of all the revisionist history that claims the ST films were not big hits at the box office. When inflation is taken into account most of the Shatner/Nimoy films were major domestic hits that usually landed in the top ten (a few in the top five) of the year they were released.

Back in the day a new Kirk/Spock film was a very big deal. I'm glad the good old days are back, but l can't understand people who claim that ST was never popular...

I think people are under that impression because the only ST movie this decade was Nemesis, and it bombed.

While I am sure you will interpret my cynicism as that of a hater incapable of appreciating the "fine art" that Trek XI supposedly is, I'll say this anyway.

Trek XI achieving this august status over the other films is by no means a reflection of its "superior quality," simply a result of price inflation.

But whatever, I'm a basher, and you're one of the alleged true fans who likes this movie. You go have your fun in the sun and I'll wallow in my parents' cold dark basement.

No it's a clear indication that people want to see this film. Via either advertising, word of mouth, or extremely positive reviews.

Crap and it hasn't even opened in Japan yet, where Trek is actually well received! That's a 50 million dollar market.

Coming in at number 2 to the one that kicked off the Trek movie series is no small feat.

50 million? No way. When does it open there?

No doubt your right, but adjusted for inflation here are the worldwide earnings:

Star Trek: The Motion Picture $398million US dollars (UK £264m)
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home $257million (£170m)
Star Trek: First Contact $244million (£161m)
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan $237million (£157m)
Star Trek: Generations $206million (£137m)
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock $186million (£123m)
Star Trek: Insurrection $180million (£119m)
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country $165million (£109m)
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier $127million (£84m)
Star Trek: Nemesis $83million (£55m)

That still puts the new Trek movie in 3rd place, and it's only been out a few weeks.

For all the polls we see here, this would probably be the most definitive source for determining popularity of these films. Where did you get this information?

I like this. Everyone is harsh on the "bashers" as being blind to the movie's "Greatness", while you "gushers" are equally blind to any of the movie's flaws.

Simple fact: Inflation played its part in Trek XI's 1/4 Billion achievement. You can say it's because it's an awesome movie that people want to see, and yes, maybe there are numerous people who want to see it. But, had this been several years ago, and the same amount of people saw it as are seeing it now, it would have reached 1/4 Billion so quickly. Inflation is the key element here. Denial of this proves you're too into the movie, and an Abrams Fanboy.

^Saying that people want to see the movie means we're not acknowledging its flaws?

I googled them!

I generally just include key words, in this case: "star trek earnings total adjusted inflation" and perused the various responses.
