Clones dropped OVER 100M from TPM. So I guess that must of been the biggest bomb of 2002!

This one's legitimately a flop though. Gonna be a challenge to even make money WW now. It'll have to depend on Home Video and merchandising to make money now. Definitely not what Paramount had in mind.

Did we ever get a Gatsby What Went Right thread?

Well who would of ever thought Trek do better OS then domestic?

I think it'll make more than enough money for us to keep seeing more Star Trek.

It's not gonna end up doubling budget+P&A. That'd require probably 600M WW. This isn't getting there anymore.

Plus this is the type of film that makes toys.

Usually, there's no Sat numbers. They just use the Friday numbers to extrapolate weekend gross. They might update the weekend estimates, but no break downs. We only get Sat and Sun numbers thanks to Rth.

I know that but I'm pretty sure Paramount was expecting a profit on the theatrical run of the film.

Something I do notice that this, Sherock and Skyfall had perhaps the most oldest audiences I've seen for major blockbusters. (So did MI4)

For a "big" weekend like this, Nikki will probably end up updating.
