Included in STAR TREKs opening weekend gross was US$8.5 million from 138 IMAX venues, setting a new weekend record for IMAX. It surpassed the previous benchmark set by The Dark Knight, which earned US$6.3 million from IMAX screenings in its first weekend. (STAR TREKs IMAX record was subsequently beaten by Avatar.) In addition, Star Trek yielded the most-attended start ever for a movie debuting in the second weekend of May, topping 1996s Twister. Star Trek also managed to top many overseas box office charts in its first weekend, grossing US$35.5 million from 54 international markets. I SAW IT ON IMAX!!!!! HAPPY NCC-1701 44TH BIRTHDAY SIMON PEGG!!!!!!!!
