JJ Abram's Star Trek (2009) had an more stellar opening weekend than originally anticipated
According to final studio numbers released on Monday, director J.J. Abrams' remake of the cult sci-fi phenomenon grossed $79.2 million from late Thursday night through Sunday. Totalling nearly $3 million dollars more than Paramount Pictures estimated they would pull in.
Final numbers on big movies often differ from earlier projections, because Sunday figures are based on estimates of how big the movie-going crowds will be that day.
"Star Trek" greatly exceeded the $50 million or so the studio thought it would make, with the help of massive critical acclaim and the strong word-of-mouth buzz it had been recieving.
