WOW! Awesome achievement!

 

[Tulin]

What's exciting is it's still going and its legs appear to be stretching out!

 

[urbandk]

I wonder if this film can just keep making a million dollars a day.

 

[Aragorn]

Top-grossing adaptation until John Stamos' "Full House" movie with James Franco, Steve Carell and Tracy Morgan comes out. Stamos was actually the one who threw out those names, by the way.

 

[Captain Fine]

Let's all pat ourselves on the back for a job well done

Oh and Abrams too!

 

[Blue_Trek]

Actually this might have a chance of staying on top for a few years

 

[Jeri]

Cool distinction; and that happened fast.

Wow, X-Files managed to eek out 83 million; it cost like a buck-thirty.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Well, it's made sixty million dollars more domestically than "Sex And The City" while costing only ninety million more to make.

 

[Jeri]

The rest of the world paid for the $90 mil.

I'm hoping trek stays on top for years

Hmmm... The funny thing is, the second best TV to Film adaptation Box Office wise, is also a JJ directed, Alex Kurtsman and Bob Orci written film, with Simon Pegg in a major role.

Lets hope this makes a patern for the Squeal.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

The rest of the world paid for the $90 mil.

Which is fortunate for Trek, as "Sex And The City" made 260 million dollars from "the rest of the world" to add to its 152 million dollar domestic box office.

That is an interesting observation.

Yeah, manolo blahniks are expensive, but not CGI expensive.

Nah, #2 is the John Woo directed sequel. Abrams' MI movie is #6.

Your right. Oh well, still, it's in the Top ten. JJ, Rob and Al have a talent for TV adoption's it would seem.

I'm more than a little surprised that "Sex" is more popular in the rest of the world than in the U.S.

Maybe we should try to figure out what it has in common with Angels & Demons.

And David Hasselhoff.
