Star Trek grosses $112 million globally opening weekend

easy man, only went to prove my point that they counted earlier to get the numbers. Im sorry movies arent that good and when they talk about including may into the summer movies it starts one wondering.

hate to break the news to you since maybe you love the new movies, a lot of people dont and i was just asking. it seems more and more movies need to open on a thursday to get that weekend numbers up. maybe i am looking at it wrong, but thats what it seems to me, fudging numbers because things have gotten embarrasing.

i also have to say when you do a live dog movie to get movie goers to come to the movies, you've sunken to a whole new low.

Uh....what?

You really are out in left field.

Thursday numbers aren't included in Weekend totals. And global totals are rarely talked about until later on in a movies lifetime when it is approaching very large numbers (i.e. Dark Knight and $1 Billion). Domestic numbers are ALWAYS used for opening weekend numbers, and only on occassion will the worldwide number be thrown out there. Worldwide release dates are very varied. So the $75 million for Star Trek is the number to go buy for comparisons. Most sites will add a note that it also made another $4 million on Thursday for a 3.5 day total of $79 million. Definitely respectable numbers and blockbuster opening category. The number isn't earth shattering though and not really surprising, and actually a little lower than I expected going into Thursday night.
