Star Trek made $7 million on Thursday. The movie premiered at 7pm as opposed to the traditional Midnight opening. Yet it still managed to be the highest grossing movie that day. Wolverine was in second place with $3.4 million. Wolverine, since opening last week, has grossed $102.6 million domestically and $182.3 million worldwide.


UPDATE #1 - Early Friday estimate for Star Trek is $26 million. We're looking at a possible $85-90 million weekend. Wolverine, surprisingly, wasn't far behind. Its estimated gross is $9.1 million. So, we're looking at a possible $25-30 million second weekend.


UPDATE #2 - Friday box office is $24 million, $2 million less than estimated.


UPDATE #3 - Early Saturday estimate is $23.5 million. Estimated two day gross is $47.5 million. Add Thursday's $7 million and that's $54.5 million. Possible weekend gross is $75-80 million.


UPDATE #4 - 1. Star Trek - $72.5 million ($76.5 million counting Thursday)
2. Wolverine - $27 million ($129.6 million total)


Breaking Down Star Trek:

Thursday - $4 million
Midnight Friday - $2.8 million

Reported earlier as $7 million, but it was $6.8 million.

Friday - $24 million + Midnight's $2.8 million = $26.8 million
Saturday - $27. 4 million
Sunday (estimated) - $18.3 million
 
UPDATE #5 - As of Wednesday this movie has grossed $99 million.
 
UPDATE #6 - Trekkies continue to watch Star Trek. The movie grossed $4.5 million on Monday. Its 11-day gross is $152 million. By tomorrow it'll be the 2nd highest grossing movie of the year (so far) under Monsters vs Aliens.

Star Trek has inspired fan-made and -produced series for free Internet distribution, moreover the only actors to participate on both this film and the first Star Trek film were Majel Barrett and Leonard Nimoy. Conversely, these are the voyages of the Star Trek commercial enterprise. If the box office opening of the new Trek film is as big as anticipated, then there ought to be more voyages of the Enterprise in store.  Die hard fans might need lots of money for opening night, because the buzz has been big.  Original cast member Leonard Nimoy (the original Spock) has given the film his blessing, which means that the new Star Trek film won't need credit repair with the people that first played the characters.
