Star Treks makes US$26 million on Saturday
- Thread starter RoamerAus
- Start date
Same here. I`ve never seen a movie twice in the cinema. I went to see this one on Friday and Saturday and I' m planning on going again next weekend
I find it strange that people have such low standards. Why are people so desperate for Star Trek all of a sudden?!

When I used to pay close attention to Trek box office - the 1980s - my vague recollection is that opening Saturdays were the biggest day of the week for movies in general. Is it actually usually Friday?
Huh? That's like asking, "Why the heck are you spending your time at TrekBBS?"
I like the classic Star Trek and have no desperate need for nuTrek unlike most fans.

My girlfriend and I went to see it on Thursday night for the early show and it was great. The movie was not as crowded as I hoped it would be. We are going back on Sunday.

Very good news. This new film is exceeding expectations. The word of mouth is going to help it out a lot.
I didn't get a chance to see it last night but I've got tickets for tonight.

A lot of folks here like the new Trek and have no need for the desperate, pointless bashing of those who don't.
Take it to a hate thread, at least.
Well, luckily, a lot of us old timers are thrilled with the movie; the fan base wasn't getting any younger or more numerous. Personally, I like to share it with a lot of new fans.

Alot of people support Torture too. That doesn't mean they are free from criticism. If you like nuTrek than my opinion is irrelevant to you.
I'm not talking about criticism...there are plenty of open threads in which intelligent date about many different aspects of the movie is happening...I'm talking about inane, pissy 'I don't like it and it sucks and you're dumb if you like it' type one-liners. If you can't support your dislike with intelligent reason, or at least open-minded politeness, go to a hate thread and spew like a five year old.
WTF, when did I get back in the BSG forum?

Criticism is fine, but when you directly question those who already like the film, you're going beyond your own personal opinion, which is obviously shared by almost no one. We need fans like you even less than "nutrek". Tym..

I think $68m for Friday-Saturday-Sunday was exactly my prediction.
Which means unless this thing has Iron Man type legs, ST might not even get to $150 Mil and make back its budget.
Word of mouth is good enough that this movie will probably do close to $200 million domestic. Most forecasters are expecting a multiplier around 3 (ie, a final domestic gross around 3x the opening weekend).
The studio likely would have been happy with anything between $50 and $60 million, based on what we've been hearing from there the past week, so I think there's little reason to worry.
