Star Trek Makes $72.5 Million

Box Office Mojo is reporting that Star Trek made $72.5 Million:

Seeking out new life for the series, Star Trek commanded a stellar estimated $72.5 million on approximately 7,400 screens at 3,849 sites over the weekend (plus an estimated $4 million from Thursday night previews). Paramount Pictures’ Star Wars-like treatment of Gene Roddenberry’s science fiction franchise resulted in the biggest Trek opening yet, soaring past the previous high of Star Trek: First Contact, which started at $30.7 million or the equivalent of over $50 million adjusted for ticket price inflation.
