The box office estimates for this weekend are in, and most significantly, Paramount's Star Trek Into Darkness has officially taken in $200M+ domestically. The J.J. Abrams-directed sequel is the fourth film released in 2013 to pass the impressive mark, and despite having a lower-than-expected opening last month, it's now on the verge of outgrossing its 2009 predecessor (which made nearly $258M domestically and $385.7M worldwide). Into Darkness is now at $376.5M globally, and should surpass the '09 Trek sometime this week. Meanwhile, M. Night Shyamalan's After Earth took a -59% drop in its second weekend, and is now at $92M worldwide. The critically panned sci-fi film, which stars Will and Jaden Smith, was produced on a $130M budget. Finally, we have an update on Marvel's Iron Man 3, which is about to gross a massive $1.2B globally. What did you see in theaters this weekend?
