Star Trek Movie Grossing Big Numbers Both Domestic And Nationwide
posted by Outsiders in Star Trek at 10:21 PM on 2009.05.28

The box office numbers for Wednesday are in, and as expected, Star Trek has passed Monsters vs. Aliens to be the top domestic grossing movie of 2009. Star Trek brought in $1.8M yesterday, bringing its total up to $194.8M domestically.

Although Trek’s tops the charts domestically, it remains in 4th place globally, due to other films outperforming it overseas. The top global movie of 2009 is Monsters v. Aliens with a worldwide total of $346 million, followed by Fast and Furious with $336 million and X-Men Origins: Wolverine at $311.4 million dollars. Star Trek has a total of $286.8 million dollars.

Star Trek will likely cross the $200M mark on Friday or Saturday, and end its fourth weekend with around $205-210M (passing Superman Returns and Batman Begins total domestic gross). After that it is anyone’s guess as to how far it can go domestically, but probably somewhere in the $225-$265 range by the time it leaves theaters (which probably wont be for 2-3 months).

It is harder to project international sales due to the difference in the various markets and release dates. It will be easier to make international projections when more data comes in, especially when we see how it does in Japan this weekend. However, with Viacom’s chief talking up the sequel, it is clear that Star Trek is already seen as a big success at Paramount.

Just saw the new movie and really enjoyed it! I did notice that Kirk seemed to have a bit of a habit of nearly falling off things though - he ended up clinging on to the edge of a cliff, the drill and something else I think as well. Looking forward to the sequel already.
