Star Trek Beyond is excellent, and its biggest strength: it's a big studio movie in 2016 that actually remembers why we like blockbusters in the first place. It gets the sense of awe and human scale that defines what makes a good popcorn blockbuster, and loads it up with fun characters and twists to top it all off.

I love the title of this thread but Linsanity is copyrighted, can the forum afford a lawsuit?

I'd call it Nguyensanity, but that might be trademarked too.

On a similar note, in this week's Hollywood Reporter, Yelchin's parents took a page out of the latest issue to thank the industry and fans for their support over the past month with this lovely ad.

Boldly go to where no sat increase has gone before in July 

What about Pets, Ghostbusters and Ice Age? Any numbers  ?

Here's how I knew Star Trek Beyond got it- in the opening scenes of space and at the moonbase, it made me actually feel wonder at the possibility of this being a real thing. It made the majesty and awe of space and futuristic sci fi technology actually make me feel something, instead of just being an endless loud canvas of pointless action.

I have to wonder if at this point, even though he's mostly cut his teeth in big-budget sequels, if Justin Lin could get any project he wanted to be financed. He got his start in indie cinema, after all.

Glad Star Trek Beyond is doing well. What I love most about it is that it captures the feelings I get when I hear the word "Star Trek," awe, wonder, and the hope that we as humans can accomplish peace someday

This is for Saturday? But how?

 

Older crowd? More likely to make plans on Saturday or Sunday with family and friends than run out after work on a Friday night?  That might give it a stronger Sat and Sun compared to Friday.

Great for STB!

Is this the first summer where TWO movies directed by Asians opened at #1?

No. 2013 did it, funny enough, it was both Justin Lin and James Wan

Beyond is better than Into Darkness notnas good as 09. Rarely reaches beyond entertaining fluff. Pegg and Boutella had great chemistry, best thing in the movie.

 

The friend I saw it with was majorly disappointed

I'm kinda rooting for LO even though I didn't like it.
