I just think it can't compete against the juggernauts which is what Paramount hoped for, it'd be doing far better if it wasn't such a crowded month.

 

I'm not sure Star Trek will ever shake the cerebral/intelligent tag which is sadly just associated with nerdy, space adventures seem to have that vibe outside of Wars.

 

I wonder if they'll move it back to Christmas? When MI3 didn't do as well as hoped (albeit against far less competition?) they moved MI4 to Christmas...Trek 09 was supposed to be a Christmas release too.

Its competing against a 3 week old IM3 and a 2 week old Gatsby. Hardly big competition.

My STID screening tonight was basically a sellout. Theater was packed.

Arclight Sherman Oaks? Yeah I'm thinking there were full showings but not sell outs. Still it's nice to see those showtimes crossed out on opening weekend.

Arclight Sherman Oaks?

 

How did you know?

You live in the valley and you always talk about Arclight and the reserved seating.

You saw it again?

Like baumer mentioned, it appears ST09 was a one-off. Star Trek was never "big" to begin with.

Not really true. As Tele showed us yesterday, ST 1-4 grossed fairly consistently and near ST09 adjusted. So ST did have a good box office run back in the beginning. ST09 was just the first in a long time to be big.

Because I liked it, you nevernude.

 

(And I was taking the wife out.)

But... but... maybe I go to the Hollywood or Pasadena Arclights.

They'll do fine of course, but it's the first year in a long time they don't have anything locked for at least 200. CA2 and Good Dinosaur have good shots, but they aren't locked. And there's also a lot of potential bombs scheduled (Need For Speed, Bears, Guardians of the Galaxy, Big Hero 6, Tomorrowland)

Bears is from Disneynature so even for Disney I doubt it will cost that much to make.

How about to add another $20+ to its fledgling weekend.

$20?! More like $36....

LOL Wild guess then.

Well I didn't know  what kind of format you saw it in, hence why I added the + after 20. I shoulda known it was more than that though if you live in LA.

I'm hard-pressed to remember the last time I only paid $10 for a ticket.

And Trek's number come on now let's be positive it went up. Let's make some lemonade out of these lemons.

I know I've never paid $18 for one! $17.50 is the Imax 3D here, and that's as high as it goes.

[Dementeleus]

I think legs will be decent for it. Not out of this world, because there's crazy competition over the next couple of weeks, but solid enough.

I paid $14.50 for a morning matinee IMAX-3D...

Hope at least a 2.7x multi for the 4 day, to put it around 225m.
