The Final Ongoing Star Trek Box Office Thread
- Thread starter MvRojo
- Start date
TREK was actually shown on Saturday night as a special open-air drive in showing near Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, VA. Found out too late to go see it, but it was cool to know some local/area people got to show the film that way in this day and age with lots of people coming to see it.
Awesome! So $258 isn't totally out of the picture, then! IMAX showings might put it within reach of JAWS!
Tuesday September 8: $20,354. That's down 8.5% from last Tuesday, despite the film playing on 50 more screens. Looks like the additional IMAX showings won't add much now that the long weekend is over. Per screen average was $76, the lowest it's been yet. $258 million is probably out of reach.
Domestic total: 257,191,845.

Dang. Well, give it a chance to reload for one last gasp this weekend... maybe 258 is within reach.
I know it plays at mine until the 16, and I'll definitely see it once more before it exits stage left.
Also, the drop off was as high or higher for a lot of other films, so there might be another mini-surge.
School is indeed in session...

well... to put it into some perspective, you're talking another 800,000 and change.
DOUBLE what it took in over the holiday weekend. I'd pretty much be willing to say it's time to stick a fork in it, it's done.
But hey, damn fine run of it.
260 sure would have been awesome though.
Yeah I think the box office overall wasn't that great. Summer is over. When I went to IMAX last Saturday, I parked right at the front door. Haven't been able to do that all summer. Not many customers inside. The good thing is the people who were at the IMAX showing were fans and we laughed, clapped and enjoyed it very much. I consider it a hit, regardless if it seems fewer people are going.
In week 18 Star trek is beating Ironman now.

Cool.
Yeah, you're probably right. But I guess only the next few weeks will tell for certain.
Problem is Iron Man only made an extra 600K from this point til the end. Even if Trek keeps going past that (Which I doubt as its leaving Imax again next week) It would make maybe 700-800K more.
Dwindling theater count and 11.9% drop to 17,900 for Wednesday...
Hoping for one last surge at the IMAX theaters before it fades into nonexistence.

I would expect a steeper than normal drop for this weekend, maybe back in the 40-45% range.
Agreed! $383-384ish million globally is also very fine!
Who would have thought that a new Star Trek movie would do this kind of huge business?
Trek is back!
