‘Star Trek’ Breaks Multiple Records
Zoe Saldana as Nyota Uhura in 'Star Trek'
Star Trek entered the history books over the weekend by raking in the biggest box office total ever for a second weekend in May.
Compared to this time last year Star Trek raised the box office by a whopping 18 percent.
J.J. Abrams’ new take on the long running franchise pulled in $72.5M in the US and $75.5M overseas to break $148M in worldwide box office takings, making the new film the biggest Star Trek release of all time.
The film also won the “most-attended start ever” for a movie debuting in the second weekend of May, a record previously held by Twister.
Included in the figures were 138 IMAX venues which drew $8.3 million, breaking the record for the biggest-grossing weekend ever in IMAX history.
From just one weekend Star Trek launched into the top 20 earners of 2009. It now sits at no.19.
It remains to be seen if Star Trek can catch the years leader, Monsters Vs Aliens which currently boasts $329.9M in worldwide takings. Monsters Vs Aliens is followed by Fast and Furious ($322.7M), Taken ($220.4M), X-Men Origins: Wolverine ($209.3M) and Watchmen ($182.1M).
