Black Spider-just watch now that you said that someone is going to lower there predict.

[Jandrew]

I predicted 88m for the 3 day months ago, and everyone was laughing. Now im even too low. 

 

I predicted 90M 4-day and I was being generous, but if I had went lower I would've had whiners.

His acting is beyond terrible.He was the worst part of Saving Private Ryan.

Fast 6 is killing it in UK right now and it has a much larger base audience in US. I think $100 million 3 day OW is going to happen.

[kayumanggi]

What is FAF Vl's BTC tracking? 90 M 3-day?

[rockNrollaDIM]

Now take it off

Okay I'm going to explain this entire thread in one post.

 

Trek is disapointing.

Or not.

Oh no it is!

How is the weather?

Where is RTH?Yay its going to have a 30M Friday!

Oh crap, RTH was wrong.

How Trek is not exactly for the GA

What is a flop?

What is not a flop

Other movies that are playing

Trek is still doing worse then we thought

What if this was on a Friday? We may never know

Next weekend.

Furious Six is gonna be huge. People were going crazy at my screening in a way I rarely see.

[Jandrew]

Good to see all the Trek supporters now hoping in the car with the Fast supporters. Kinda fake to do now after these numbers, but hey we have enough seats. Riding > dying.

Intresting-in 2009 2 sequel breakouts were Trek and Fast 4.

^And Hangover 1 was a breakout film.

I just can't stand Vin Diesel.

This won't top the first Twilight

 

But Twilight is Twilight. Even the first movie was a monster and made a killing at the box office compared to expectations. This isn't even talking about the sequels.  

[Talkie]

Oh the Starkanite is back.

 

This from the person who haunted the IM3 OW threads trying to generate some faux panic over the numbers until it became obvious what a hit the film was. Why aren't you posting that po-faced "O woe is we!" crap here? Surely if a $174M OW sent you into a frenzy of crocodile tears, a sub-$70M one should have you crying a damn river.

Just realized Star Trek opened in 150 more theaters then this. Odd.

Somebody must have said this even though I haven't seen it, but does any one else think JJ might be a bit overexposed? I can see the Episode 7 news turning of Trek fans since it seems as if JJ's loyalty has waned. People are looking for reasons to explain the disappointing numbers but have we ever seen such a high profile sequel where the director has essentially announced that he is leaving the franchise before the films release? The combination of this and the fact that his name has been placed on so many projects might have made this film less of a must see event and more of "another JJ Abrahms project" and one in which he, himself, seems a bit dispassionate about. I feel this is related to the films performance. Episode 7 kind of replaced this as JJ's next must see film.Also want to add that I am happy JJ is taking on Star Wars since his ability to extend projects off of the big screen was severely limited by the relationship between Paramount and CBS.http://www.thewrap.com/movies/article/how-web-star-trek-rights-killed-jj-abrams-grand-ambitions-91766

Major sequels that saw a decline in recent years to films that were liked/loved:

Iron Man 2 (Not as much as the other films though)

Iron Man 2 did fine. It only had a small decrease DOM, yet people keep calling it a flop for some reason. People need to remember the huge decrease that Spider-Man 2 had to the original Spider-man. At this point, Iron Man has become the 300M superhero. This means he is right after Batman and Spider-man, not bad at all.
