‘09 Blockbuster Opening Weekend Comparison: Star Trek

Posted on May 11, 2009 by Clarence Brown   |   Google+   |   Comments

It’s no secret that there will be a slew of awesome blockbusters coming out this year. I’ll keep a running comparison of the numbers, so we can have a clear view of where each movie falls among the greats of ‘09. So far we’ve had Star Trek and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Next up, Terminator Salvation.

    Wow if Star Trek had as many theaters as wolverine then it could have made (going off your theater average) 550 x 20.4k = 11.220k more bux. Thus beating wolverine by about 2.6M dollars. Also the movie was awesome. Sylar(Heroes) as Spock. “Shawn” of the Dead as Scotty, Cupid(Hercules Legendary Journeys) as McCoy, “Harold” and Kumar as Sulu. Sorry Kirk, Uhura, and young Russian guy but I do not recognize you but enjoyed you as well. Once again great movie. Hehe they even killed a red shirt.

    Hmm… the only work I know Kirk from (Chris Pine), is from a chic flick with Lindsey Lohan (don’t ask). And you may know Uhura from the movie with Aston Kutcher and Bernie Mac, Guess Who. I dont know the russian guys from anything either, but the movie was indeed great. I think I’m gonna go see it again.

    Young Russian guy…that’s really funny. Actually he was Charlie Bartlett.
