The critically acclaimed pic has pulled in some $260 million since its opening on May 7th, making it the fifth highest grossing film so far this year states-side.
However its standard month-long IMAX run was cut in half due to the commitment to screen Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian."
'Museum', 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince having played out their IMAX runs, the schedule is now clear for 'Trek' to have two weeks of added IMAX play.
Trek hits DVD /Blu-ray on November 17, 2009.
The trade points out that while the film did a lot better than most of the previous 'Trek' films have in the states , the movie's foreign box-office tally sits at $126 million - one of the lowest tallies of a Summer '09 blockbuster.
As a comparison "Harry Potter" and "Ice Age 3" made four times as much overseas, "Transformers 2" more than three times as much, "Angels & Demons" nearly three times as much, and "Terminator Salvation" twice as much.
While I am sure the studio has concerns over those foreign numbers there's no denying that Trek is back making the suits and bean counters very happy...
