Star Trek surpasses box office estimations
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.

Poll: Joss Whedon’s Greatest Show
After last night’s rather wonderful episode of Dollhouse, I think it’s fair to say that Joss Whedon’s latest creation is quickly beginning to find its feet and hit its stride. Let’s just hope that it’s not too late in the big bad world of television execs.
However, has Dollhouse reached the heights of Whedon’s previous, much-adored shows?
Only you can decide, so vote below and decide definitively which is his greatest creation to date.
