Star Trek Final Opening Weekend Tally Up To $79.2 Million
Reported by Jay Cochran - 06:37 PM 2009.05.11
 The opening weekend tally for J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek" was substantially higher than initial estimates. The Paramount Pictures release grossed $79.2 million over the three day period in 3,849 locations, almost $3 million higher than initial estimates thanks to strong attendance on Mother's Day. Initially, the well-reviewed adventure was expected to bring in $18.3 million on Sunday, but ended up grossing $21 million. Better than expected family attendance was credited with the upsurge."The spike over our initial estimates on Mother's Day demonstrates that the combination of strong reviews and solid word-of-mouth contributed to better than anticipated attendance by families yesterday, confirming our belief that 'Star Trek' has a broad, multi-generational appeal," said Rob Moore, Vice-Chairman of Paramount Pictures. Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Entertainment Present a Bad Robot Production "Star Trek" starring John Cho, Ben Cross, Bruce Greenwood, Simon Pegg, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Winona Ryder, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, Eric Bana and Leonard Nimoy. The film is directed by J.J. Abrams ("Mission: Impossible III," "Lost," "Alias") and written by Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman ("MI: III," "Transformers"). Based upon "Star Trek" Created by Gene Roddenberry. The film is produced by J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof. The executive producers are Bryan Burk, Jeffrey Chernov, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. The director of photography is Dan Mindel, ASC. The production designer is Scott Chambliss. The film is edited by Maryann Brandon, A.C.E. and Mary Jo Markey, A.C.E. The costume designer is Michael Kaplan. The visual effects & animation are by Industrial Light & Magic. The music is by Michael Giacchino. This film has been rated PG-13 for sci-fi action and violence and brief sexual content. Source: Paramount Pictures

I've already posted my personal review of this movie, but I just wanted to say that I really loved how they managed to make this a reboot/origin movie yet retain some element/acknowledgement (in the form of Nemoy's Spock) seamlessly and make it make perfect sense. I just really liked how eve... read more |

Star Trek did lose its' number one spot to Angels and Demons, but only barely. Angels and Demons made $48 million, Star Trek made $43 million. Overall it had a less than a 45% drop from week one to week two, which is absolutely fantastic by Hollywood summer blockbuster standards. ... read more |

I see theaters are already moving it to smaller screens to shift focus to Angels & Demons. That may cut down on sales. Angels & Demons doesn't strike me as necessary to be seen on the biggest screen, but more seats=more money. |
