Star Trek continues to impress, this time at the box office.

The studio had estimated the movie’s weekend box office haul would be in the region of $50 million, but turned out to be a whopping $76.5 million.

What’s more, the movie haul improved from $26.8 million on Friday to $27.4 million on Saturday, which, according to analysts, suggests the film will have “legs” and hopefully a long successful run.  It should certainly benefit from word of mouth.

Experts are now confident the movie should take in $200 million in the United States this summer, and Star Trek is a show which should benefit from a strong international market as well.  Abrams’ Trek could be on its way to becoming the most successful Star Trek of all time.

    The movie was awesome in every way, The characters right on. It was good to see the faces that we have all come to love as they might have appeared in their youth, even though technically they were all basically young when the show originally aired, seeing them before the 5 year misson was wonderful. Not sure if I am ready for the alternate universe concept it presented, but ready or not it is here.I think there will be more ripples positive and negative than even JJA cosidered with this new concept of what has become the Star Trek reality. I can not even imagine a universe with out Gene Roddenberrys’ Star Trek in it!
