In any event, today Star Trek is now a top 50 movie

And it looks like 250 million is the new standard of excellence & success

Go Star Trek, go Star Trek. Hell yeah!
I'm a little excited, if you can't tell.

 

[cooleddie74]

This TREK is no longer badass...it is now Captain Robau Badass.

$448,730 More for monday

$448,730 More for monday

What went wrong?

 

[Blue_Trek]

Well now it's in spot #50

I think the most we can hope for is for it to stay top 50 for 2009, because other movies will come out pushing it back out, Transformers, Harry Potter, Avatar, that's about it for this year anyway. I don't think it can ever catch Monsters. Up & Transformers and Potter will easily pass all these pushing the ranking down by 3.

I think the very most we can hope for now is about this



#44 Monsters, Inc. $255,873,250 / 2001

#45 Star Trek $251,300,000 / 2009 [hoped for final number]

#46 Batman] $251,188,924 / 1989

Once you've passed the uber-badass Jack Nicholson BATMAN in earnings? You have officially earned the right to brag until the cows come home.

If it can get another $350 million then it could pass Titanic.

If only we could get Venezuelan voting machines to count box office dollars for us, that'd be possible.

Alas, with the voting machines also comes the Venezuelan list, where all top 100 films are "The Life of Hugo Chavez."

Where's Squiggy when we need his toady ass?

Attacking Tokyo, as usual.

Oh, well; it's still funny in my imagination. Right next to Tip O'Neil in a dress.

 

[Borgminister]

I prefer someone fresh, like Rudy....
