so here's a good question... May 18, 07:53
I think it's stuck between a rock (IRNM3) and a hard place (FAST6/HNOV3) and people who aren't die hard (contd) May 18, 07:58
good points {nm} May 18, 08:10
indeed, but May is always jam packed. I can see your point though. these numbers show like the Potter May 18, 08:07
I think it is the same type of situation that we had with watchmen/kick-ass/scott pilgrim... May 18, 08:45
in some ways yes, but I would be more inclined to think that way if this weren't a sequel to an already May 18, 08:51
I think we all assumed that the first movie converted a bunch of people who weren't previously Trek fans (contd) May 18, 08:57
you have a "guy"? awesome, where can I get one ;) no, I think there is some truth in that. I expect mike255 any minute now May 18, 08:59
lol.. I'm by far the worst offender. en edit button is more than welcome here {nm} May 18, 09:08
Trekkies suck... :) {nm} May 18, 08:02
ha! have you seen the documentaries on Trekkies... good stuff {nm} May 18, 08:13
Let me give a more serious answer May 18, 08:35
keeping the film ultimately flat or actually lower given the less foot traffic on a "per day" basis. {nm} May 18, 08:40
i had already seen this movie May 18, 08:06
interesting take, but I assume that means you did not see TREK1 in theaters? or are you saying you May 18, 08:12
no i saw the 2009 one in theaters, which already gave me pause for anything truly great from this one {nm} May 18, 08:17
are you a Trek fan? or a Trekkie even? I really enjoyed TREK1 which will have me at TREK2 sometime this weekend. May 18, 08:25
i've been a Trek fan since i was 5 years old. JJ's version of Trek is just a bunch of crap blowing up real good May 18, 08:32
I'll pay close attention to that on this new one. Interestingly I have only seen 2009 once, so I'm having a hard time remember May 18, 08:38
I agree. {nm} May 18, 10:18
Trek movies prior to the Jj {nm} May 18, 08:15
so you're saying we picked up the new fans from an action based film, but actually lost a lot of Trekkies May 18, 08:18
Or the other way around. Gfb might have came out just because they are fans and cannot help themselves, while May 18, 08:24
could very well be. the only thing I have to go off in that regard was how much I geeked out at these new trailers May 18, 08:27
That would fit with the talk I hear. {nm} May 18, 10:19
Trek movies prior to JJ re-boot were not that popular to begin with. Re-boot raised the stakes, now it's fallen back to its May 18, 08:17
I can see some of that, but then you have Casino Royale, Quantum and Skyfall May 18, 08:23
i went to BOM and adjusted older Trek films for inflation. Highest one in today's dollars still came in @ May 18, 08:49
Nolan has the Midas Touch, but I would like to see a Duncan Jones Trek movie too {nm} May 18, 08:52
Everyone who, after 4 yrs, wasn't interested in Khan Again and Darkness. Do parents want to take their kids to an Into Darkness movie? {nm} May 18, 11:23
Well, I'm dying to see it, but I'm busy graduating this weekend. Maybe there's a bunch of 21-year-olds in the same boat? {nm} May 18, 08:44
you can treat yourself to a late night viewing! and congrats graduate! {nm} May 18, 08:48
yeah, they are going to gain ground on international this time around, so that's going to help. May 18, 10:18
