How much will Star Trek make opening weekend? - Blu-ray Forum

How much do you think Star Trek will make it's opening weekend? And do you plan on seeing it?

xtop · 05-05-2009, 02:22 AM

i think the average movie goer sees star trek as too nerdy, so i don't think it puts up wolverine type numbers. but i'm seeing this opening weekend

i'll throw out 65-75

I actually think hype and curiosity will blow this movie up a LOT, especially since a lot of Trekkies will give in and see it. I see a $90-100 million opening weekend for this movie and then like Wolverine, a huge drop-off the second week.

iori · 05-05-2009, 02:25 AM

70-80

Sussudio · 05-05-2009, 02:25 AM

i bet many standard action lovers will see it in addition to a plethora of old and new fans...i'm going with over 90 mil

Blu Titan · 05-05-2009, 02:26 AM

I agree with Sussudio

Over 90 million for Da Trek Nation.

I will be there on Friday or Saturday. Can't miss it.

xtop · 05-05-2009, 02:27 AM

i have to see the movie alone because nobody wants to see a star trek movie

Go for it, and bring all of your family and friends.

BLindsay · 05-05-2009, 02:46 AM

Id say it will do pretty well, im going to a private midnight screening of it and i got 3 friends going with me and none of them would have ever gone to see any other trek movie but they all like the looks of this one, as do i

edit: woo its sylar

Marcusarilius · 05-05-2009, 02:47 AM

110 Million. This will be the beginning of a series of Star Trek movies released in this time frame. Looking forward to it/them and I think these films will kick ass big time!

xtop · 05-05-2009, 02:49 AM

i'll say this tho..i hope it does as well as everyone else is saying

jadedeath · 05-05-2009, 02:50 AM

With all the people in spock ears wearing light blue and removing themselves from their parents basements and protesting... about 5 bucks.

Ditto.

STARSCREAM · 05-05-2009, 02:59 AM

I think it makes over $100 million. I'm not even a Star Trek fan really and I plan on seeing it.

GreenScar · 05-05-2009, 03:07 AM

It will be interesting to see what the analysts say later this week when they comment on the buzz. I voted over $90 million. I think this could go either way on opening weekend. From what I've read the movie is phenomenal so I anticipate word of mouth to be great and it to have legs.

dvd_mazter · 05-05-2009, 03:19 AM

Well judging by early reviews, the movie sounds incredible and it will do really well but I doubt it will open as big as Wolverine.

My prediction is 60 - 70 million.

Nicadian · 05-05-2009, 03:32 AM

80 million. Bought my ticket already.

Galactus · 05-05-2009, 03:33 AM

$60 to $70 million it wont have that big of an opening as Wolvey.
