Yep. Paramount is just really bad at releasing things.

[VanAuger32]

It does. While I don't expect a great film...it should be better then the 98 version.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.....Right?????????

 

I would say that Bryan Cranston being in your movie automatically makes it better...but then I saw Total Recall.

It was like when someone went "Ladykillers has to be great Tom Hanks is in it!" Then apparently they said "Well I was wrong, everything he touches does not turn to gold"

We knew May was going to be a bloodbath. Star Trek was the first victim. Next will be Hangover and After Earth.

hangover will do 200M

$9.5M is a great increase for IM3.

 

$22M is pretty disappointing for STID. I have a feeling that it's biggest problem is simply that it's Star Trek. And Trek has never truly connected with a huge percentage of the GA.

Yeah so will Star Trek! Oh wait....

[John Marston]

It would be very embarrassing if Hangover 3 can outgross Trek 2 as well 

[Impact]

I am seeing more and more of for Trek then any other film right now "Waiting for video"

[Sam]

Well, hopefully the WOM is good.

[fishstick]

Yes, embarrassing performance. No two ways about it.

 

Finally someone with common sense. Spinning this Cumberfiasco is really annoying. STID is a flop. 3D saved its face like it saved Floppit`s.

How much will Gatsby and Iron Man make this weekend...? 

[Jandrew]

I had Trek at #7 for the year, but now #11-#12 may be its resting place. Not bad considering like 500 films are released a year, but still a little low.

[Impact]

I am seeing less and less 3D showings for films now.

[druv10]

So funny because I posted yesterday that I saw a couple of sell outs last night. 1 at Regal Union Square NYC and a couple in Atlanta.

 

I'm not surprised at the increase.

 

Dragon will be happy.

 

 

The reason I mention IM3 increase is because some people were dragging the weekday numbers saying Darkness was coming and it would put an end to IM3.

 

Not people, just Alfred. 

[Michael Seng Wah]

$22mil is indeed a flop for me, I am expecting the lowest goes for $25mil.

What's a big shit for Paramount now.

Did ST09 simply max out in the same way Spidey 1 and Potter 1 did? I mean it did sell the most tickets out of all ST movies which is unheard of for a franchise that had entries in the 70's. Maybe it simply had the appeal of being a new Trek movie and had people watching it that wouldn't have watched it otherwise, and they aren't coming back for the sequel.

So true. But yeah if it makes 200M and is number 11 or 12 that be amazing really.

I think so. Also I notice people saying "I'll wait for this on DVD/Blu Ray" The core audience does not seem to be your typical teens going to see it first thing.

I'm seeing projections around $35M for IM3 and $23M for GG.

[Michael Gary Scott]

I'm not trolling, I just want to know, so as those numbers are right now, is Fast Six over Trek looking good after all?

I'm losing two Star Trek related bets
