Star Trek Into Darkness opened in seven, relatively-small international markets this weekend (Austria, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Germany, and the United Kingdom) and earned $31.7M which is up an average of 70% more than the opening numbers the first Star Trek garnered in those same territories.




However, next week is the big release date as the film is set to open wide in the U.S., Canada and Hong Kong.

Topple Iron Man 3 for #1, definitely. Bust IM3's total earnings? No. As cool as Abrams' Trek series is, no one, really outside it's fanbase and recommendation knows of it, much less cares.

I was the only one that cheered during the scene played before The Hobbit and all the trailers for it since. Which is about 10 movie sin the theater. All of which, aside from me, was received with no reaction....

*since. It's 20-[frick]ing-13 people. We used to have a feature called the edit button years ago. We're suppose to advance our tech, not go ass backwards, okay? This isn't Netflix, you guys put stuff out, not take it away.

Better than IM3 AND MoS, COMBINED?!!!!




So This:

Don't get me wrong, I have tickets reserved for the midnight release, but better than both of those 2? Abrams' Lens flare doesn't stand a chance among Snyder's cinematography and IM3's storyline and action sequences.

By the time this movie hits the states, IM3 will already be at the billion mark.
