STID "tracking" for $85-90 million opening [U.S. box office]

[RAMA]

^^^
Star Trek made $17 million on the Sat-Sun of its third weekend, and that was with the inflated business of Memorial Day weekend. $18-20 million for Sat-Sun for STiD on a regular weekend would be a Herculean task. I think it'll make $18-21 million for the full Friday-to-Sunday weekend.

I don't think a trend upwards is impossible, so far After Earth is 17% fresh. The scifi fans will go see STID.

BoxOffice.com is reporting $261,552,337 worldwide gross as of 28th.

The film opened in China with 25m CNY on its opening day (that's $4.04 million. The total Chinese box office for the same day was 11 million, so STID took a sizeable percentage.) The Chinese are predicting it will take in $25m in the first week.

For more information on the Chinese box office, see: http://yule.sohu.com/20130529/n377364553.shtml

It hasn't been updated much, but the actual total right now would be around $275 million.

Thanks for that link--it's a good read, aside from all those chicken scratches!

But good news, because that'll be 4 times the 2009 take, I think.

The sci-fi fans have already seen STID.

All right then, the curious general public moviegoer after realizing Hangover and After Earth are turds, and the Trek film is fresh.

Last time (with ST09) we had a competition going in here as to who saw it most if I remember

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

STiD will continue to draw good business, but $21 million for this weekend, maybe $22 million at a push, is the upper range of what it'll make.

"After Earth" has been getting absolutely terrible reviews. It might open okay, but it's going to collapse hard after the first weekend.

 

[Phily B]

I think will limp to 250m with a final total of 450m WW, a disappointment but better than what we thought after the bad first weekend.

 

[JarodRussell]

Movies "limp" to 250 million domestically?

 

[RevDMV]

Well as a ScFi fan and a long time trek fan, I still haven't seen it. Too much other stuff at the end of the kids school year. We'll try to see it this weekend.

I keep hearing good word of mouth from non-trek folks in person and facebook. I think this weekend end might bring a bump

Four both times.

Get some perspective, man.

You need to turn in your Trekkie card

Then I beat you last time around (saw ST09 seven, yes, seven times at the theater).

This one I've seen three times but the fourth is coming up this weekend with another non-Trekkie friend and her husband who want to "drag" me to it

My friend Michelle and I contributed two $13 tickets opening night ... though actually paid less than that through a Fandango gift card deal

I'm hoping to go again this weekend, after I get over this cold.

OK. So we are at $102,100,000 overseas at the moment.

If I add all of Star Trek 2009 totals from the countries STID is yet to open in + $35m from CHINA (Might not get that much, but lets be optimistic!)

$102m is the total so far.
$30m to come from those countries that have already opened (guess, might be way off)
$35m from CHINA (might happen now!)
$35m from countries yet to open, at ST09 levels.

$202m total​

I would agree that US$30m more from the countries it has already opened in is low.

i.e. Box Office Mojo figure for the UK = US$12.95m

UK Box office upto the 26th May = GB£19.42m = US$29.1m Which means the UK alone will have added something like US$17m

http://www.bfi.org.uk/education-res...tatistics-research/weekend-box-office-figures

Box office mojo is updating the OS total figure but has not updated the individual figures. The $29.1m from UK is part of the $102m figure.

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

According to ERC STiD made $2.7 million on Wednesday. Star Trek made $3.1 million on the Wednesday following its second weekend.

 

[Borgminister]

That comparative number is really not bad...!

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

Wednesday actual: $2,741,570 for $162,193,907 to date.
