Star Trek Earnings

Suprised me that it made more money than "Dark Knight" in IMAX. Wish we had gotten it here.

76.5 million means it has earned more than 5 of the previous Trek films (their whole theater run)as well.

Sweet! I'm sure it will continue to do really well up until Terminator starts stealing some of those profits. Saw this for a third time today with Mom. Hey, as for the SW reference, I'm almost positive that just before all the recruits are leaving to their respective ships to help Vulcan, one of the guys says the name "Vader" as one of the cadettes names.
Re-reading some of Ebert's review for this, clearly the guy wasn't paying attention in the movie. But whatever, general reviews have all been super high and the gross earnings are proof that it is being very well received.

“Trek” Took In More At Box Office Than Originally Reported
May 12, 2009 by Michael Hickerson || Category: Film News

No matter how you look at it, the new “Star Trek” is a hit. And while an opening weekend of $76 million isn’t shabby, it now appears the film made $3 million more than originally estimated. The upturn in box-office revenue came Sunday afternoon with families turning out to see the reboot of the classic series crew.

Paramount initially reported the film took in just over $76 million in its first four days, but bumped it up to just over $79 million yesterday. The studio said traffic was strong on Mother’s Day, grossing $21 million Sunday instead of the originally estimated $18 million.

The movie defied a Hollywood trend for “fan-driven” films, which tend to have large box-office takes on Fridya and Saturday before falling a bit on Sunday. Paramount credits good word of mouth for keeping sustained levels of ticket sales for the film across the entire weekend.

The film also took in $36 million in worldwide box-office for its debut weekend. That take could have been more but the film has been delayed in Mexico due to an outbreak of the swine flu. Paramount announced yesterday the movie will open in Mexico on June 5.

Paramount also announced that cable outlet FX has picked up the rights to air the movie, starting in 2011.

Kasey you right I heard the cadet name "Vader" being called as well. So that may be the SW reference.

Some like to think the death of the Emperor led to a post-defeat-of-Sauron-like vulnerability in the troops.
We prefer to think that Ewoks kick butt.
