“Star Trek” grosses are out of this world
I’m the furthest thing from a Trekkie that you can imagine. But with dreamy Chris Pine as Capt. Kirk in the latest Star Trek film, I’m suddenly very interested in The Enterprise. This latest film is a reboot of the franchise and scored the biggest opening weekend of any Trek film: an estimated $72.5 million.
The film dwarfed X-Men Orgins: Wolverine in its second weekend. The Hugh Jackman-Ryan Reynolds hunkfest dropped to second place with an estimated $27 million. X-Men has earned just under $130 million in its first 10 days.
Speaking of hunks, Matthew McConaughey’s latest comedy, Ghost of Girlfriend’s Past, held up surprisingly well in its second weekend with an estimated $10 million in ticket sales for a 10-day total of $30 million. That’s a huge improvement of Matthew’s previous movie, Surfer Dude, which went straight to DVD.
Here’s a skit from SNL from last night:

Actually, Surfer Dude did play in theatres…very few theatres, including one in Tampa, for about 5 minutes. Some clueless projectionist threw the trailer on to The Reader, months after it had quietly left the cineplex.
