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

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?"

You forgot

Obviously EMPHASIS YOURS. You omit the third definition which agrees with the grandparent and nullifies your whole argument. How you got +3 informative is beyond me.

Except that most TV series (don't know specifically about Star Trek) aren't shot on film at all. The older series originals would be on Betacam video tape.
