    • Weekend Box Office: 'Star Trek Into Darkness' Opens With 'Just' $84 Million

      Here's something I bet you didn't know. Back in 1979 and 1982, Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan broke the opening weekend record with $11.9 million and $14.3 million respectively. So, yes, for a brief period, the Star Trek franchise really was in the same kind of company as Batman and Jurassic Park.  The above quote is from my weekend box office report from four summers ago, when Star Trek debuted with a whopping $79.5 million in 3.25 days and seemingly restarted a grand old franchise.

      For many of we Star Trek fans, it is agreeable to anticipate the Star Trek: Into Darkness film and today's release of Star Trek: The Video Game. But some fans were not happy with the 2009 Star Trek film script's addition of a new setting that added a quantum reality to Star Trek's universe timeline. The setting of Abram's 2009 film is an alternate timeline, a new reality that runs parallel to the prime reality.
