Wow, its only 3 mil behind Wolverine according to IMDB. After the initial panic, looks like Trek beats Wolverine!
19 million in the UK is pretty good too considering the population. Pretty much every evening screening for its second week was packed out.
FLOP!!!

Next weekend will be interesting. T4 will obviously take the top spot with NATM2 taking second. I suspect A&D will drop like a stone leaving trek in 3rd place. T2 will probably do around $80m or $90m, NATM around half that, and ST'09 will probably hold steady at round $30m.
I ran into a woman the other day at BK and she asked me when that movie comes out -pointing at one of the Star Trek signage that was posted- I told her it aleady was and that it was a great movie and she said she wants to see it.

Sidenote: Troi really earned her paycheck for that mission didn't she?
J.J., a feeling of great joy, and gratitude.

Yep. She was very useful, too. The whole mission would've fallen apart without her. She's like the glue that holds the missions together.
Well, more like the clamps used to hold it together while the glue sets.

NATM2 has been tracking at about $80 million for the four-day weekend. It's being released in more theaters than T4 and tracking quite often underestimates kid-friendly films, so I wouldn't be too surprised if NATM2 ends up winning the four-day weekend. I think both T4 and NATM2 are going to be substantial hits, though.

The likes of Iron Man and Wolverine made close to 50% of their gross outside the US. For Star Trek, it' s now 25%.

By the way, here's Variety's report on the international box office for this weekend:
It's 32.4% now that the weekend numbers have come in from the international markets. Like former Trek films, Star Trek will make most of its money in the domestic market, but its international gross has at least increased in similar proportion to the domestic gross compared to the last couple of Trek films.

International markets do better with big stupid action pictures. I think that's what they want out of Hollywood. Sophisticated movies don't make as much.

I think you are contradicting your own point there, not that it is the most sustainable of points to begin with.

Wait until the sequel. You'll see some bigger numbers internationally now that the foundation is established. In the meantime Paramount will just have to make do... poor guys ha ha.

I disagree... I think it is internally coherent. It might be the way that it's connected to Star Trek's past that turns off foreign audiences. Evidently Star Trek is not as popular elsewhere. Perhaps if Abrams had done a reboot it would have done better.

Trust me, it is regarded as a reboot and has been reviewed and publicised as such.
Internal coherency (which is debatable) does not make it in any way sophisticated. It is very much a film with action, humour and effects over logic and big ideas. I have nothing against it, but would never regard it as sophisticated.

Fair enough. I just think it's the smartest of the Star Trek movies, but I agree, next to Ikiru or something, it's not going to win any awards.
