‘Star Trek’ exceeds industry expectations with $76.5 million opening weekend
No wonder they’re smiling.
Star Trek passed Fast & Furious as the 2nd biggest opening of 2009, behind only X-Men Origins: Wolverine, earning an estimated $76.5 million (including Thursday night showings). The movie also set the attendance record for a film debuting in the second weekend in May, and made a record-setting $8.2 million from 138 IMAX theaters, which broke the Dark Knight’s $6.3 million mark.
And in case you missed it, Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto showed up on Saturday Night Live this weekend…
