So what would of the OW been if this stayed on a Friday? I'm guessing mid 80s. While not as great as most were predicting, I doubt we be calling it a "flop"

It's likely to gross less than $80 over the protracted 4.25 day opening... How would the opening weekend have been the mid-eighties? Maybe mid to low seventies.

I thought the projected 4 day opening was 83.5M.

Moral is-don't release a sci fi sequel more then 4 years later unless if your the Matrix or Star Wars.

Actually they were. And no they didn't either.

Anyway-this movie is just hectic right now. I think people are making this look worse then it is. While its not great by any means-its not the next Narnia. (AKA really huge drop)

Who? I clearly remember people predicting 75-85M OW for it. You were predicting over 100M OW, and some other guys, but most were way under 100M OW.

I do remember it-I can't say who as its gone

Anyway-MIB2 redux for this, though I'm not as sad as I am about that.  (It is also T3 redux)

 

I think since there is no Derby and I don't do Baumer's Summer game-I am not upset if something goes against what I predicted.

So the average OW on the BSG for Star Trek was 113M(3 day)Average domestic total was 316M.The good thing is we're all fucked as a group.

In other news...the Big Wedding is still in the top 10! (Hey I was trying to think of a movie that nobody is talking about)

I was going off the BTC numbers posted earlier. You may very well be right. Though, it appears most rivals studios expect $65M true weekend at best. I don't see a 4.25 day total higher than $80M and wouldn't be shocked if it's under $75M... Hope I'm wrong.

LOLLLLThe Queen has declared STID a flop. /end

100 pages by mid day Sat. Now this is a melt down!!

One thing is that the trailers made this film a bit dark and kind of alienating to the ga. Also

I think they need to cover another story not already done in the films, there are so many other ones they could of done.

Sorry I just think I'm tried of people throwing the word flop out so much.

Yeah, that's part of my problem with this movie. It was supposed to be a "new" Star Trek, and the movie 4 years ago really felt like that, but then they go and give us this, which felt the exact opposite of new and fresh.

I want to see Harvey Mudd! Trelane! The Rock Monster! Heck even those brains would be great!

The most popular villian with Trek fans actually is Q, but I can see why they never use him-it be like having Dr. Manhattan your villian for the film, he is powerful with no weakness.

What is the absolute max/min you can imagine this doing for the weekend? (Okay make it realistic at least-I don't mean a 400% Saturday increase or a 99% decrease)

 

Absolute minimum is about 58.3M 3-Day, and 71.8M 4-Day. Absolute maximum about 83.6M 3-Day and 97.1M 4-Day

Thanks.

The miracle to save this movie would be a 30M Saturday which should push for 80M for the 4 day.

[Impact]

Also I disliked how

they make Dr. Marcus suddenly like she was big to the franchise-what about Nurse Chappel who was there all the time and even Rand who was there the first season

Overall though I liked it more then ST09. (Part of me enjoys First Contact the most)

Yeah. I'm thinking at worse it'll stay flat and fall 35% Sun. at best it could do 60% increase and fall 25% sun.
