Wolverine, on the other hand, has a Friday estimate of $8.5 million on BOM and $8.22 million on SBD, so it's set to drop by some 66-68%.
I knew it was going to take a big drop. Just like X3. Make most of its money in the first week and die at the box office. If it had actually been a good film, the fall wouldn't have been so dramatic.
This is a very good start for Trek. I'd say it will make over $70 million (not couting early previews) at the box office. If it can avoid taking a huge drop next week, it should finish with a very nice box office total. The Good...word of mouth and reviews for Star Trek have been very good. That should guard against a dramatic fall. The bad...Angels and Demons hits theaters next week. Why anyone would want to see that film, I'll never know. The Da Vinci Code movie was a giant piece of shit (though in fairness it was based on an alright but overrated book).
