- Start date
And this needed its own thread?
That number would be a pretty big disappointment btw and would signal to me Trek will not make over 180 Mil Domestic.

I think so, and no that would be a good number.
I'm guessing just short of forty million, which would be a humongous success. Thirty-five would be fine too, though. That would be less than a fifty percent drop and far from being a "disappointment" or cause for concern it would be very encouraging.
That's projecting a 46% drop, which is average for a film in it's 2nd week. And it will easily make over 180 million. 200 is in the bag at this point, the question is can it possibly make 300 million.
Besides I would not be suprised if this tops A&D .
I've been going over numbers around $35 million in my head all week and I keep coming up with $185-$195 minimum at the US Box Office. So far every prediction has been short either because Paramount has been so clever to undersell it to make the film look even better when it beats projections and also because this movie is more popular than people imagined.
People don't jump on the ship if we drop 50% so what we had a big opening and most likely we will have strng 3rd & 4th weeks no matter what drop off in the 2nd week and pull in a big big total come the end.
This movie is a success already lets enjoy the ride to the end...The ARTICLE is actually saying its a positive thing
Looks up at the sky--still there, whew.
The same article also says that Wolverine "still has legs", so I'd take it with a hefty grain of salt.
Just talked to a neighbor's kid my son's known for 8 years out walking our boxer, him walking their lab. So the dogs are playing and I chat a bit. Seen any good movies lately? Gonna see Star Trek tonight with a few friends.
That's legs.

A&D is getting mediocre reviews, but the afterglow of the Da Vinci Code should be enough to push it to No. 1. But I expect Trek will have a solid 2nd weekend, and should continue to pull in good business for the next month.
I'll be adding my share to it again this Saturday 
You're not going to be happy unless it rakes in 50 mil in a day, are you?
I think they're saying Wolverine still has legs because its weekday drops have been dramatically smaller than X2's drops for the comparable time period. It's still only going to make $12 million or so this weekend.
Well, the operative word for me was "still", because its knees sure buckled after week 1.
Anyway, I'm cautiously optimistic given everything I've read here and also from my real-life interactions with other people.
Come on Similitude, chin up! You're even worse than me, for crying out loud!
Nikki seems to be a bit mathematically challenged. She writes "So this weekend it probably will be down only 45% for a $38M second-place finish." But $38 million would be a 49.5% drop, not a 45% drop. So which is it? Down 45% or $38M?
45% would put it at 41.5 million wouldn't it?
Drop might be a lot less than that -- pray to IMAX!
Personally, I think it will drop around 45% to something like $42 million.
