I believe 'something's gotta give' were my words actually. 

 

Having said that, I really had no idea it would open this poorly. I was thinking 80m for the 3-day and 100m for the 4-day. 

 Well, you're right after all. But I remember Dex said that as well, or something to that effect.

 

It's really shocking still.

Can someone fix the cluttered title? Seriously.Do we need total gross for every film?

[John Marston]

wow Star Trek 2 will make less than movies like Oz or Amazing Spider-Man or maybe even Sherlock Holmes 2. 

[baumer]

Why is everyone doubting a big increase today?

Just go find all the films that opened in May and opened on a Thursday and see what kind of bump they get on Saturday.

[John Marston]

Universal probably has a sigh of releif they canned JP4 now.

 

 

it's still in production

[bapi]

Shocking! Absolutely shocking!

Is it too late to replace JJ Abrams with Brad Bird for Star Wars? Man, he would have done an amazing job.

Abrams will do a great job with SW. There's nothing wrong with his directing and he didn't write the story or screenplay. I'm not worried at all.

[wileECoyote]

Well not quite the movie type I had in mind. But oh heck it will work  Please Grown Ups 2 bomb.

Heh first that came to mind was TASM but only if reboots count..what were you thinking?

Title's fine as is.

Abrams did tick off some Trekkies I do know that.

[Caladbolg]

Thread title needs to be changed for IM3, $9,512,000, is what Box Office Mojo has it for Friday

Maybe even Hangover 3 ...

Why is everyone doubting a big increase today?

When you pose that question, what kind of increase do you expect? And, what makes you think it won't hardly increase at all? I'm thinking a 5% to 10% Saturday increase for Trek 2...

[Impact]

Terminator 3-people thought it was going to win 2003. Sequel to a beloved film, 4th of July release....then it disapointed on it's ow. Yeah it had a great OW but not as near as well as people thought it do.

[JohnnyGossamer]

Abrams will do a great job with SW. There's nothing wrong with his directing and he didn't write the story or screenplay. I'm not worried at all.

No, he's not a bad director. But, unless I'm mistaken, he's employed the same writer to pen Star Wars 8.

[Impact]

Shatner was right-Abrams is being a pig with 2 huge sci fi franchises.

[VanAuger32]

Damn IM3! And Good for Gatsby. Trek's late shows must have been empty.

 

There were 8 people at the 1050 3D show I went to

Potter isn't any better than POTC domestically.  WW is where they both excel.

 

Nope. Potter sold 15m+ more tickets than OST.

 

PoTC is in free-fall domestically.
