Official Star Trek Week 8 Box Office Thread

What I find interesting is that the two movies above it have almost double the screens as Trek, but they don't have the sales to warrant those screens, I would think the managers of those theaters are watching this. Could Trek hold on to more screens longer through the summer as those flicks obviously can't justify their screen count.

Interesting? Maddening is more like it... :mad:

:p

And even Year One at more than twice the theater count isn't beating Trek by much.

I am really curious to see how many IMAXes are going to show the movie starting today... and how that impacts the numbers.
 
I have some calculations people! :D

Week 8 Box office: $5,441,759

Star Trek will end with:

$260,500,000 - If it drops 30% per week from now.
$258,000,000 - If it drops 35% per week from now.
$256,100,000 - If it drops 40% per week from now.
$257,950,000 - If it drops the same as Batman Begins from now.
$257,900,000 - If it drops the same as Iron Man from now
 
It is just too bad Chartman isn't here to make sense of all of this... :(

I kid. Wow, 30% drop per week nets 260... wouldn't that be special...

Well the last few drops have been:

Week 4 to Week 5 - 32.1%
Week 5 to Week 6 - 30.9%
Week 6 to Week 7 - 6.4%
Week 7 to Week 8 - 30.1%

I think it will finish with between $257-$258 million personally.
 
It hasn't gone over to second run yet, when it does it will pick up theaters in places like this. This is an example of a multiplex theater that gets it movies right after they are released from the major theater chains. Trek isn't even playing there yet. You can tell from the other titles which movies are still playing or other movies that dropped so fast they got released really quickly.

For example Hanna Montana, LOL

Sorry for the delay...I caught a 9:40 am showing of Trek. My 10th and probably last time seeing it in the theatre.

THURSDAY (7/2) BOX OFFICE

1. TRANSFORMERS 2 - 11,590,000 - 250,970,350
2. ICE AGE 3 - 11,110,000 - 24,901,157
3. PUBLIC ENEMIES - 6,655,000 - 14,820,025
4. PROPOSAL - 3,440,000 - 81,505,000
5. HANGOVER - 3,005,000 - 191,386,740
6. MY SISTER'S KEEPER - 2,005,000 - 18,753,850
7. UP - 1,745,000 - 258,277,000
8. YEAR ONE - 697,000 - 35,985,152
9. TAKING OF PELHAM 1 2 3 - 550,000 - 55,980,631
10. NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM II - 510,000 - 165,667,635
11. STAR TREK - 435,000 - 248,060,972
12. AWAY WE GO - 250,000 - 4,981,083A 36% increase from Wednesday's numbers which is its best Wednesday-to-Thursday change of its entire run. Only a 22% drop from last Thursday, which is also good and shows that Wednesday was somewhat a fluke since two major films opened. A 22% drop is also good considering it has only 50% of the theatres it had last Thursday.

Transformers 2 bumped Trek into the #3 spot for the year on Thursday as well.

International: $124,931,204
Global: $373 million
 
70 plus people have reserved seats for tonight's IMAX showing online; not too shabby, and of course not counting people who will just show up... :)

I think I've been to that theatre a few times during my travels to Winnipeg to visit relatives.

There's a second-run discount theatre within walking distance of my apartment. It's a fairly recent discovery of mine, and I rather like it; I've already used it to see stuff I never bothered with the first time around, like Knowing, State of Play, and Monsters vs. Aliens. It's a great way to have a decent night out for only $3 (more if you want to buy some treats, but even their concession prices are lower than those of the multiplexes, which is nice). They just got Drag Me to Hell, which I may go see sometime this coming week. They don't have Trek yet, of course (even though DMTH opened a couple weeks after it! :D), but I may go see it again when they do. That would make it my fourth viewing, which would be a record for the amount of times I've seen one film at the theatre.
 
Aren't these second run theaters responsible for Monsters v. Aliens getting back on the charts? I mean, they can account for a few hundred thousand bucks I guess...
