anything over 60m would be a huge win for STB given the lackluster marketing from Paramount , seems like TMNT2 had better marketing. I guess anything over 400m WW keeps the franchise alive given that its Paramount
don't think anyone posted this....this summer

#StarTrekBeyond heading to near $22M opening day. Wknd shd end up in mid 50s. Surprisingly, that's 3rd best live-action debut all summer.

Paramount probably needs to stop adding excessive action to Trek to get better grosses overseas, its only helping somewhat, At this point only adding A-list talent like a Tom Cruise may get this franchise over 300m overseas
so 20m weekend for Ghostbusters? Looks definitely under 150m now. Can it do much better than 300m WW?
STB will likely come under Warcraft worldwide unless it does well in China
RT:
Critics Consensus: Star Trek Beyond continues the franchise's post-reboot hot streak with an epic sci-fi adventure that honors the series' sci-fi roots without skimping on the blockbuster action.

not much cheaper than STID afterall, maybe because of reshoots? looks to perform similar to last year's MI5
Even if Ghostbusters manages 150m domestic, it will need at least 400m WW to be a modest success, with Feig even suggesting 500m for a number that would make Sony happy. Who knows if this plays better on home video making Sony green-lit a sequel
Still don't think general audiences opinion has changed much since initial release, most liked it not loved it, but haven't thought about it much since
Really tepid start for Ghostbusters unless it recovers tomorrow, it can't count on overseas to save it, not a bomb, just not what you want to relaunch a franchise
