FRIDAY 10:50 AM: Sources tell me that Thursday screenings starting at 7 PM, including midnight shows, made approximately $7 million for Star Trek. "There was a big core fan turnout," one of my insiders says, "so you can't extrapolate to weekend numbers." Nevertheless, it's a great start. But there are still cautionary words around Hollywood that Star Trek could still wind up the next Watchmen (i.e. disappointing) because of the built-in fan basem the big presales, the Imax heat. I don't get such talk. Way different movies, especially with JJ Abrams' reboot garnering all those critical raves. As for today, expect early matinee numbers to be very high. But Hollywood won't be able to get a real handle on Friday's figures until the late afternoon or early evening. So stay tuned.
