Nikki so needs to come on these forums. I'd love to see the dynamics between her and say BKB, Shay, or fish.

I want her to know she has a fanbase.

My Boxoffice forecast for the weekend:

 

Friday morning: Meltdown

Saturday morning: Hope

Sunday Morning: Orgasm

 

It's gonna be a fun weekend.

Meltdown, Hope, Orgasm will be the name of my autobiography.

you're expecting a huge jump on Saturday?

 

I suppose it's possible, since the Friday number will be deflated by not being the actual OD.

Thanks to Nikke and aDIM, why this thread blew up today. This will live in infamy like "not a record".     

 

 

Yes.

STID cannot flop!

I'm expecting it to perform much, much better on actual weekend, than on Thursday. But I also think, that it's not going to be the 125m opener everyone expected maybe not even 100m. Marketing for Star Trek wasn't really good and maybe 4 years was 1 year to long for the sequel. Everybody was hyped up for the movie back in 2009, feels like nobody is now.

It's her introduction. Geez, not everyone needs to be oh so super important to the plot!

 

Of course, that's part of the problem with trying to make Trek a movie frnachise instead of the tv franchise that it actually is. Characters like Chekov and McCoy jusy don't get the screen time they need.

 

 

She'll be in the sequels that follow where they will probably go into her relationship with Kirk.

 

my guess for STXIII:

This is a great way to set up a major character that can be killed off to add some major gravitas to the Klingon threat. Since it's too early for Kirk to have a son, they're going to have to kill Carol instead. Just so Kirk can have some righteous Klingon-hatred.

Didn't ST(09) perform well because of a lot of families?  I vaguely recall it doing well into the summer during weekdays.  If families come out this weekend, since they've all already seen IM3, it could have good Saturday numbers.

This is awesome 

 

And "mewling quim" will always get a "like" from me

Well, maybe my meme is not a spoiler then.  If that image is readily available, and seen by many, then do you think it is not a spoiler?

Nah. I even saw a clip of Kirk talking to him in the cell on a talk show.

But Loki is the only one badass enough though to pull it off twice...in a row!!!!

Yeah, I think it should do well with families.

 

Some mentioned Transformers 3, some mentioned Shrek 2 with backloaded performances.I remember how everybody was disappointed with Iron Man 2s midnights in 2010 and it still went on to some huge business.

Dude stole my gag!

It looks like STID should be called Star Trek Into Kung Fu Panda 2
