I always read STID as STD.

It is a massive ton of fun. My crowd was laughing so hard I couldn't even hear some of the dialogue. A fantastic time at the movies. 

 

Of course the crowd ate it up. It's Portugal.

Star Trek numbers are decent. Should do just about what I expected considering the shitty marketing

OMG me too! I even said that in the movie's thread the other week.

Bad Moms looks terrible. I hope it bombs. No movies for women is better than bad movies for women.

By the way, I don't know if anyone else got this, but before my showing of Star Trek last night, there was a video from Simon Pegg on the set of the movie telling the audience "thank you for coming to support us, the cast and the crew, and for supporting the movie theater." They really want to combat the piracy problem, don't they?

I've been getting that all year. There's a Ricky Gervais one too.

I got it too. Got one similar at X-Men and Jungle Book earlier this year

Yeah I got that.

 

Similar to Alexandra Shipp for X-Men Apocalypse. It's all pandering to the crowd that already supports films though.

I have seen that with most movies this year. The stars or the director thank us for coming to the theater.

[filmlover]

I got the one before X-Men as well. It's like they're telling the audience "please don't illegally record or download our movie that we put such hard work into".

I see we had a propaganda film playing at my local theater. It makes me mad my local Regal always seems to get these crappy propaganda films or terrible church films yet we can't get a single independent film or a smaller film. If we do, its once in a blue moon.

ANT-MAN,

6.4 + 16.25 + 19.46 (19.75%) + 15.11 (-22.4%) = 57.22

 

STB with that pattern,

5.5 + 17.00 + 20.35 + 15.80 = 58.65

 

One might think that ANT-MAN is an original film and STB is a sequel and do worse. However, STB has a better OD to Previews ratio (3.1x) than ANT-MAN (2.54x) because Marvel's fan-base front-loads original films too. So STB can very well match ANT-MAN's Sat and Sun % holds despite being a sequel.

I got one of these ahead of both X-Men and dory

I'd say he succeeded. Heck, he made the best blockbuster, and one of the best films period of 2009.

 

I agree.  I'm not a Star Trek fan, per se.  I've watched episodes here and there, but not by design.   But I really really like the 2009 movie.  I like SID, but not quite as much.  (I own them both, but I rewatch the first one.)  I am really looking forward to seeing this one!

 

I was going to see it today, but caught some airport plague and I don't want to be 'that person' in the theater, so I'm sulking at home while my friends see it.  I'll see it as soon as I decently can, though.

I haven't seen anything like this recently in the UK.

I go step down from decent, they are ok. Ho hum seems appropriate as well.

[a2k]

Star Trek numbers are not bad and not great. They are so Ghostbusters.

[GiantCALBears]

It's 2016 everyone, even with a potential profit from the budget cut & international gross... $60m (& likely less) OW is not good I'm sorry (it may not be "bad" but I'm arguing it's alright). I-Robot, The Village opened to $52/$50m in 2004, it's always my favorite mid-late July comparable(s).

[WrathOfHan]

The OW is fine, the movie will have strong legs.
