Official Star Trek Week 9 Box Office Thread

252 here we come! :p

:)

In all seriousness, Star Trek is still tracking similarly to Iron Man (even the theater counts aren't that far off from this point in Iron Man's run), and Iron Man made another $8.5M after it's 61st day in release. I think Trek will end up in the neighborhood of $255-256M.
 
WEDNESDAY (7/8) BOX OFFICE

11. STAR TREK - 235,000 - 250,570,827

And if my calculations are correct, about 3.78% of that came from Jeri. ;)

Okay, with the Wednesday numbers and a few other foreign estimates in, the Top 10 films of 2009 worldwide should look something like this:

1. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Domestic: $310,426,573 / 48.7%
+ Foreign: $326,852,118 / 51.3%
= Worldwide: $637,278,691

2. Angels & Demons
Domestic: $131,324,373 / 27.6%
+ Foreign: $344,000,000 / 72.4%
= Worldwide: $475,324,373

3. Star Trek *
Domestic: $250,570,144 / 66.5%
+ Foreign: $125,334,803 / 33.5%
= Worldwide: $375,904,947

4. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian *
Domestic: $168,700,553 / 44.9%
+ Foreign: $207,200,000 / 55.1%
= Worldwide: $375,900,553

5. Monsters vs. Aliens
Domestic: $196,774,612 / 53.1%
+ Foreign: $173,875,847 / 46.9%
= Worldwide: $370,650,459

6. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Domestic: $178,504,279 / 49.1%
+ Foreign: $184,700,000 / 50.9%
= Worldwide: $363,204,279

7. Terminator Salvation
Domestic: $122,820,394 / 35.0%
+ Foreign: $227,793,045 / 65.0%
= Worldwide: $350,613,439

8. Fast and Furious
Domestic: $155,064,265 / 44.4%
+ Foreign: $194,250,339 / 55.6%
= Worldwide: $349,314,604

9. Up
Domestic: $268,129,381 / 84.1%
+ Foreign: $50,800,000 / 15.9%
= Worldwide: $318,929,381

10. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
Domestic: $86,565,945 / 31.3%
+ Foreign: $190,000,000 / 68.7%
= Worldwide: $276,565,945

*The foreign estimates for Night at the Museum 2 are actually a day behind Trek's, so it's pretty much a certainty that NATM 2 is ahead of ST's worldwide total now. Once I have more up-to-date figures, I will adjust the list accordingly. :sigh:

In other box office news, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is proving itself to be quite the monster hit globally, surpassing The Hangover to take its place at #10 on this list.

That's it--change the bridge colors from red, white and blue to something more Euro-one-world-government-ish for the next movie... :p

Thanks for those stats...
 
Final Number: $234,317

It looks like SBD has the theatre counts wrong for the movies. According to BOM, Trek did have a lower average than Year One and NATM2 all week.
 
Theatres Counts

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 1,116 -792 -41.5%
Year One 990 -1,250 -55.8%
Night at the Museum 2 854 -565 -39.8%
Star Trek 763 -385 -33.5%

Star Trek 763 -385 -33.5%

Still showing some good legs despite the inevitable fade... Wonder if it'll pull in a million over the weekend?

If it pulls in the same per-theatre average as it did last week, it might scrape up $1 million.
 
83 online reserved tickets sold by 7.40 p.m. to tonight's IMAX showing; I'm thinking another 20 or so just walking in now off the street to catch the movie.

Not bad for a Thursday... :)
 
Don't be--I'm not there, I just peeked online... :p

But two years from now, I'm hoping this IMAX will carry the sequel first-run.

I'll just by a month pass and have an engraved sign attached to my seat then... :)
 
I was going to say. There are months during the summer and fall sometimes where me and the wife go often enough, a monthly pass might actually make sense.

In all seriousness, Star Trek is still tracking similarly to Iron Man (even the theater counts aren't that far off from this point in Iron Man's run), and Iron Man made another $8.5M after it's 61st day in release. I think Trek will end up in the neighborhood of $255-256M.

This weekend, Trek has 75% of the theatres IM had in its 10th weekend.

No doubt Iron Man was quite a bit more successful than Star Trek; it now seems the lowering theater count is based on simple economics.

Latest estimate from SBD puts Thursday's take at 245 K.

But is that before or after the latest theater attrition?

Before.
