Is a $72.5m Opening Weekend Enough For Star Trek?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i'd-see-it-again-if-i-could-get-a-sitter dept.

brumgrunt writes "At first glance, JJ Abrams' Star Trek has won over audiences as well as critics as it stormed to a $72.5m US opening weekend. However, Den Of Geek sounds a note of caution. Can it hold an audience for a second week? How do its numbers stack up? And as Wolverine looks like its struggling to reach $200m off an $85m opening weekend, is Star Trek yet the huge hit blockbuster that some of the headlines are suggesting?"

    Hmm?

    Maybe it's my personal experience, but every single person I have talked to has said it is not faithful in it's representation of star trek and was not worth viewing.

    Uhm, spoiler warning? Also, you're taking this way too seriously.

    Which means it's no longer Star Trek.
