Awesome news! Asia being bad for the film has always been a crock being pushed by people who don't want the movie to do well IMO.

With those previews, this will break 3m for sure. I'm going to revise my predictions for the upcoming weekend as well.1. Star Trek 2 - $1.9m2. The Great Gatsby - $700,000 (some interest plus the holiday will bump up numbers)3. Iron Man 3 - $450,000 (would fall harder but has the holiday to help it)

Wow, that's incredible for Trek in HK :wub:I hope to see other Asian markets be the same. They don't have to explode, just good increases would be great already.

[Mattrek]

Go Star Trek!

[Bluebomb]

Early Friday pre-sales show Iron Man 3 surprisingly out in front in a couple of places. Star Trek 2 remains the frontrunner at most locations and The Great Gatsby is behind both at most theaters. Gatsby is tracking very well in the business district though.

Slow start for Star Trek 2 and The Great Gatsby. Admissions will pick up heavily with Friday being a holiday. Iron Man 3 held up alright. Pee Mak Phra Khanong had sneaks earlier this week and so far it has been warmly received. This Thai horror might be able to slice out a smaller audience amidst the trio of Star Trek 2-Great Gatsby-Iron Man 3. Excellent hold for The Call. WOM is outstanding for the thriller. Very weak for The Berlin File. Last Exorcism 2 got sawed by the new openers and extremely poor WOM. Terrible for Snitch. It won't survive next weekend.

Slightly underwhelming for Star Trek 2. Maybe gross will paint a different story. Good hold for Iron Man 3. Decent for The Great Gatsby. Excellent for The Call. This is getting huge WOM. Not bad for Pee Mak Phra Khanong. After a rocky start, The Berlin File came back with shocking walk-ins. Walk-ins attributed 89% of Berlin File's Thursday. Pretty great for The Big Wedding. Good for Searching for Sugar Man. Trance has lost a lot of sales after opening weekend. The Last Exorcism 2 is spiraling downwards after bad WOM seeping through.

Those are strong holds for IM3, Big Wedding and Call. Any reason?
