Re: STAR TREK $100m opening weekend club (CLOSED) I'm tempted to do a below 150 overall club, but we have too many Star Trek clubs already

I would be adamently opposed to it, but it would be good for a variation. _________________Mr. R wrote: Malcolm wrote: You seem to think threatening violence against people is perfectly okay because you feel offended by their words, so that's kind of telling in itself.

Re: STAR TREK $100m opening weekend club (CLOSED) I think that $65 million is still the absolute limit for its opening weekend.

Re: STAR TREK $100m opening weekend club (CLOSED) First two reviews that meta-critic posted are both 100 scores, there is clearly a lot of love for this movie, which will help it immensely.

Re: STAR TREK $100m opening weekend club (CLOSED) Quote: J.J. Abrams' Star Trek doesn't open till Thursday night around 7 pm, but Fandango, the nation's leading moviegoer destination, is reporting that the film already accounts for 81% of daily ticket sales on the site. Star Trek has sold out more than a hundred opening weekend show times across the country from New York to Los Angeles, from King of Prussia, Pennsylvania to Colorado Springs, Colorado Not bad considering WOLVERINE is doing pretty good...

Re: STAR TREK $100m opening weekend club (CLOSED) I just reserved my tickets for Thursday 7 PM showing...  There's an earlier showing at 4:30 PM, but I'm thinking too many teens will be there. They blab a lot usually and I'll try to avoid that. All the good seats for the 9:30 PM showing were taken, otherwise I would have reserved those tickets.

Re: STAR TREK $100m opening weekend club (CLOSED) Here are some predictions from back when I opened the club: -less than 30 million opening with a finish around 70 million -I put it at 35 million opening and 68 Million final -opening? 30's, maybe 40 -$30 mil max. -Even the best reboot imaginable does not point north of 40 -Make something like 46. When things go good.... We'll find out in a couple of days who's gonna be right...

Re: STAR TREK $100m opening weekend club (CLOSED) I'm not from USA. Films here always open on Thursdays. It's a regular earlier showing (I find it strange they didn't put one at 3 PM. I don't think they're expecting much from ST here. Only 3 showings on weekdays and 5 on weekend. Wolverine had 4 and 6 I think. Next week Wolverine has 4 showing on weekdays and 7 on weekend.

I looked at this thread last winter and thought the film will bomb. I certainly do not think so after seeing the buzz(though with huge marketing budget it will still be a financial flop unless OS explodes). If the film makes 80M+ after sunday you can claim being close. If it makes only 60-65M this thread is another EPIC FAIL.

Re: STAR TREK $100m opening weekend club (CLOSED) If it does over $85m OW then this thread can be assumed to be "in the ball park" and kudos to Mark, below that and its a failure.

I think we should include the thursday previews in his benefit, seing as he couldn't anticipate that they would do those. _________________Mr. R wrote: Malcolm wrote: You seem to think threatening violence against people is perfectly okay because you feel offended by their words, so that's kind of telling in itself.

Re: STAR TREK $100m opening weekend club (CLOSED) Rotten Tomatoes still at 100 % (33 reviews) but average rose to 7.9...
Metacritic is at 94 % (8 reviews)
IMDB still at 8.2 but the share of 1 point haters is shrinking (now 10.2 %)

Re: STAR TREK $100m opening weekend club (CLOSED) In the pop high it delivers, this is the greatest prequel ever made.
that's just one comment from 5 100s on metacritic, this is ridiculous, the movie must really be something.

Re: STAR TREK $100m opening weekend club (CLOSED) I dont think Paramount is low balling. WB was low balling TDK when they mentioned 90-100M. None of the rival studios thought it would open that low. Here all studios are concurring with Paramount. I think it will be quite accurate.

Re: STAR TREK $100m opening weekend club (CLOSED) Studios are always lowballing their movies to prevent "disappointing numbers"...
