Since it is from paramount (Who owns the license), isn't a official release canon?
Some post viewing analysis. I saw Star Trek this afternoon at Cineworld (14.20 showing), and considering it was a Thursday afternoon, in an utterly vast 700 seat theatre, I was actually very impressed by the turnout. I'd guess there were easily more than 400 people in the performance I saw, and that was only one of 19 screenings today.
The audience seemed to be made up of the general public, rather than Trek geeks, although there were a few in evidence. They very definitely seemed to be on board with this new vision for Trek, with all the funny bits eliciting good amounts of laughter, and all the tense, dramatic parts eliciting a hushed, expectant feeling in the audience.
Personally, I thought it was a thoroughly enjoyable, spectacular movie that pays considerably more than lip service to its origins. My mate, who was, until now, utterly ambivalent about all things Star Trek, said just after we'd left that he wants to go see it again on Friday night!
Also, as a Scot, I can say with some authority that Simon Pegg's Scottish accent is considerably more than passable, although he does occasionally become slightly "Auch Aye Tha Noo Cap'n!" in his delivery.

The boxofficemojo derby game average prediction is $74.2 million now. When I checked a while ago it was at $71 million, so the later predictions are pushing it upward.

Hrmm they must have been tabulating late then..because derby game closed last night at midnight.
I predict a 90m opening
I predicted < $50million. I'm beginning to doubt that.
I'm pushing for over 100 - but I'm a middle school teacher, and the kids really seem psyched. Lot's of whispering and talking about this one - more than I've heard about any movie.
The kids really like this film? No. Really. This is important because, you'd be surprised, the Paramount marketing people look at this and other boards. Are the kids getting good WOM about this film and passing it around?
Trust me on this. We're talking not only disposable income and secondary sales for NATO members at their concession stands, but Paramount's partners have ancillary sales to consider, such as the toys, plushie Tribbles, and cellphones. There's a reason Anakin Kirk had a Nokia Media Center in his Vette.
No Jar Jar, thank God, but it was close.

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%.
