Star Trek online sales strong - even outpacing Wolverine
Remember last week Ad Age said that Wolverine would outsell Star Trek 2 to 1? Well the first reports for online sales shows that the battle is a lot tighter and Star Trek is actually a bit ahead. THR cites MovieTickets.com sales figures showing that even though Wolverine is selling well, Star Trek is outselling it in early online sales. TrekMovie contacted Fandango and they said that both films are selling briskly, but that Trek is currently outselling Wolverine by a bit there there as well. They noted it is very early and that most sales will come much closer to the film and so there is a caution not to read too much into it, but it is yet another good sign for the film.

I like this quote:

MovieTickets says Paramount's upcoming "Star Trek" release -- set to unspool a week after "Wolverine" -- has already sold 25% more advance tickets at MovieTickets.com than "X-Men."

I bought like 4 million of them though, so the results are a wee bit skewed.

Up to more than golfing on that trip, were you?

Just to be a wet blanket, I would like to point out that it shouldn't really be surprising that a larger share of Trek's audience would be in the "I *have* to buy a ticket to this movie more than a week before it comes out" category. Doesn't necessarily mean that Trek will beat Wolverine's opening weekend. If this were to continue well into next week, however, *that* would be something.

If we even stays close to Wolverine in the week before it opens it bodes very well for the franchise.

I noticed yesterday that "Wolverine" has already opened Down Under.

It's Jackman vs Bana!

Woohoo!

I hope Star Trek beats Wolverine. I really do. All the Wolverine trailers make it look really bad.

Logan was a great box office draw. But that was another lifetime!
