Trek passed Monsters vs. Aliens as the #1 movie of 2009 yesterday.

It dropped about 11% from its Tuesday number, which is on par with Iron Man's 13.2% drop on the comparable day.

Adding in the international total ($91,938,343), the global total is $286,766,723.

 

[Elysion]

Good hold for Trek.

 

[Flake]

It did 70k more than my prediction so this is good

200 Million here we come!

*pops open champagne*

 

[Similitude]

200 Mil by the end of the Friday night showings looks possible now.

It will be very very close if it doesn't go past 200.

 

[Flake]

Infact I think Paramount will estimate it a little higher just to push it over 200 million

 

[Borgminister]

Fanfare!

 

[VulKhan]

Going to see it again this weekend, If not tomorrow night.

Cheers to Star Trek, I'm very happy it's doing so well!!
200 Mil, yeah! It's about to happen! Let's raise a glass.

Hopefully they won't have to. I think it will easily clear $200 million with Friday's numbers.

You'll get more jiggy with it if you sip on some more of my champagne!

^Grabs some of of Scottydog's champagne! Oh Yeah, thanks!!

 

[Garth Rockett]

Even though it will eventually be passed, I'm pleased to see Star Trek take the #1 spot for 2009. If I'm not mistaken, I believe it's now the third highest grossing Trek movie in the US, adjusted for inflation. Based on how it has sustained itself thus far, I think it will eventually surpass TMP as the highest grossing Trek film in the US. Not bad at all!

Not too many years ago my son would hate it when I performed the motion in that emoticon after winning a game of whatever we were playing--and he's otherwise not easily provoked.

Adding a "ooo, ooo" tweaked him even more as I recall.

Curse you, A&D! Let loose your hold on 3 so Trek can march back in!

 

[dave_R_treker]

I saw it again last night. Go Trek Go.

 

[Phily B]

So what will it finish up with? Any estimates? It'll beat Batman Begins at least.

 

[Norrin Radd]

I think A&D is holding because it's the only movie out there that's not sci-fi or fantasy and because the younger crowd doesn't go out as much as adults on weeknights. Oh well, it's only a hundred thousand or so above Trek.

Let's hope for an 18-49 year old outpouring over the weekend... Star Trek still fills that niche pretty well.

updated with final numbers...actuals for Trek dropped a few thousand...nothing spectacular
