"Star Trek" over $100 million today

[Borg7of7]

Wait hold on. This movie is a flop! A total ridiculous flop. Pancakes hitting the floor don't flop this hard. If I were Paramount I would have thrown JJ out the window on Thursday, along with the 1967 Corvette, little Kirk, and that bloody Jellyfish. This movie makes Nemesis failure look like Will Wheaton on steroids. I hope you guys now realize the only way we can make a successful Trek is to pander to the loyal Trek fandom!

What?

Yeah..I second that "WHAT?" As in, "What proof do you have, that all of the rest of us don't have, that makes you think that?"

I think boxofficemojo is right and we see a 60% dip this weekend. I hope its not that big, but I fear it will be.

Link? I see nothing on the page.

to help your fears, with some links and predictions:

Boxofficereport: 43 million

Boxofficeguru: 37 million

Boxofficeprophet: 45 million (and only 2 away from beating A&D)

Lees Movie Info: 38 Million

So as you see the average drop is around 40 million, which is a 45-47% drop.

Thanks for the numbers Superdelux. They seem to be...Logical...

Actually that is a 47% drop and a 54% retention if you will of earnings.
40/75= .53.... 35/75= .47

[Tulin]

I'm still waiting to see that they have indeed spent 150 mil on marketing.

Me too. I don't buy this.

As for the Golden Compass...that film was really, really, ridiculously bad. As in horribly bad. As in fucking, mind-numbingly bad.

Oh calm the fuck down.

It really wasn't THAT bad.

Oh wait, it HAS to be, so ST can seem even better?


God, and I JUST finished working at a job with 18 year old children.....

There was no need to resurrect a thread which had been inactive for nearly four months. On Page 1 of this forum, you'll find an ongoing thread for discussion of box-office figures and ranking for the year, and you're welcome to repost these links there, if you like.

Closing.
