Not quite what I predicted, but this movie still brought in the cash with a weekend gross of $79.5 million, short of the $90 million I projected in a previous post, but still pretty good, and nearly double the highest opening weekend of any other Star Trek movie (Star Trek Nemesis $46 mill).
I knew this one would be tough to predict, being a Star Trek movie would tend to have a low opening, but, as anyone will tell you, it's not your classic Star Trek, and it's done by Hollywood's golden boy, and yours truly's favorite J.J. Abrams, which would lead to higher numbers, so, studios and apparently, Kevin's Movie Blog really didn't know what to expect. I'll take $79 million as a good opening, and I'm wondering if it will show a huge dropoff this coming week, or word of mouth over the greatness of the movie will keep it only slightly less spectacular.
In other dinero news, Wolverine dropped a pretty staggering amount from last weeks $87 mill to $28 million; so for all you non-math people out there, that's a 68% drop, which is pretty harsh, even for a fan-boy driven movie like X-men.
So, that's the news for today, now go out there and enjoy the day, and don't forget to stay cool, movie geeks!
