'Star Trek' nabs $7 million on Thursday
Paramount's "Star Trek" opened at 7 p.m. Thursday on most of its 3,800 screens, grossing an estimated $7 million as of Friday morning.
J.J. Abrams' reboot of the classic sci-fi franchise currently stands as the best-reviewed movie of the year, earning a 96% ranking on Rotten Tomatoes. Last weekend, 20th Century Fox's "Wolverine" grossed nearly $5 million in midnight runs, although "Wolverine" didn't start its run until 12:01 a.m. Friday. As with "Star Trek," Par opened "Iron Man" on a Thursday night in May 2008. "Iron Man" grossed north of $4 million in Thursday evening/midnight runs on its way to grossing $102.1 million for the weekend. Based on tracking, Par, along with some of its rivals, doesn't expect "Star Trek" to come close to "Iron Man's" opening gross, or even the $85 million earned by "Wolverine" last weekend. Nonetheless, a number of films have overperformed in recent months. http://www.variety.com/article/VR111...&cs=1&nid=2854

It might yet come close to Wolverine. The Friday figures will be more telling.

That's because it was THURSDAY. Who goes to the movies on Thrusday, aside from us?  Also, a lot of people didn't even know the movie was available for viewing on the 7th. I'm going back for the 7:30 show tonight, so I'll see how the crowds look where I am. I fully expect there to be far more people. Although, I expect the 9:30/10:00 show will be the one with the most people.

It was a Thursday - not perhaps a big night. Fridays are better.

My nearest IMAX is fully sold out for today as well - but mine will be counted in the international gross, not the domestic one.

That's right, UK. I forget.
I think the movie will do a brisk 67 million for the weekend.
