BOX OFFICE: STAR TREK BEYOND Looks Set For $60 Million Weekend After Glowing Reviews
With an impressive 93% score on Rotten Tomatoes, Star Trek Beyond looks set to to soar to #1 at the North America box office this weekend despite competition from a couple of other big new releases...
Ghostbusters (which is much better than you've been led to believe by some) only reached #2 at the North American box office last weekend, but it appears as if Star Trek Beyond won't have any trouble reaching the top spot! According to The Wrap, the Justin Lin helmed sequel will dominate with an impressive $60 million opening which means it will top Ice Age: Collision Course and Lights Out.
However, that actually pales in comparison to Star Trek which debuted with $75.2 million in 2009 and Star Trek Into Darkness' $70.2 million in 2013. It's also worth noting that they cost $150 million and $190 million to make, while this third instalment came in at $185 million. Paramount Pictures clearly believe they have a hit on their hands anyway, especially as a fourth chapter is in the works.
