If Star Trek Has A Disappointing Box Office...?

[Squiggy]

I don't mean theaters, but showings per theater. 7pm and 9:30ish were the max times they could've fit a showing in last night.

Well in this neck of the woods it was 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.01.

At two theaters in two towns in the area. And 8 and 12.01 at a third. So plenty showings per theater here.

Again, max showing per theater. You can't have a showing at 8 and 9 on the same screen.

Right, different screens. Two screens, one in Digital Projection, the other normal. Our IMAX gets sloppy seconds, so I either have to drive 2 hours or wait...

Can anyone be certain that internet sales and early ticket sales aren't not giving a skewed picture of interest in the movie?

After all, aren't the vast majority of movie tickets still purchased at the theatre?

You'll have your answer in three days. It's not the one you want.

76 Million dollars, including Thursday. You were wrong, Dayton3, as many of us knew and told you that you'd be.

Yeah, this thread became rather moot didn't it?

To be fair Dennis we'll really learn a lot next weekend based on how it holds up against Angels and Demons, however, the Saturday numbers indicate trek should have some legs. If Trek can hold off some of the big May releases word of mouth should take over and really carry Trek into some uncharted box office territory (at least for Trek).
