That's a pretty tall order. Attack of the Clones pulled $650 worldwide, $310 here and $340 abroad. The reviews of Star Trek are through the roof, so I think it'll be able to attract non-Trekkies - but $310m worth? I'm dubious at best. Besides, that franchise has never played well overseas, whereas Star Wars is one of the strongest of all time. In fact, if you adjust for inflation, then all 6 Star Wars movies are in the top 85 all time (With Episodes #4-6 and #1 ranking 2, 12, 14 and 19 repsectively), while no movie in Star Trek franchise has ever passed $100m internationally. Love the enthusiasm, and maybe I'm short changing the movie, but Star Wars is not the right barometer.Casey Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06135447823367240175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212843651825424118.post-2009418464008569232009-05-07T13:14:00.000-07:002009-05-07T13:14:00.000-07:00For the record, although I was right and Jericho w...For the record, although I was right and Jericho was wrong with regard to Batman VS. Hancock last year...<br /><br />"There is no way Hancock will be a bigger hit than Dark Knight. No way."<br /><br />...I was not the anonymous ass cake thrower above. So, as far as I know, that person doesn't have my record of being prescient and is open to derisive rebuttals from the normally on-target Jericho.<br /><br />I will, however, venture that Star Trek will make more money than Jericho predicts. Maybe more than Attack of the Clones? <br /><br />I mean, I know that the last few Trek movies haven't earned all that much by today's blockbuster standards...but if this glossy new Star Trek loses to the least successful of the horrible George Lucas prequels, doesn't that end the Star Wars VS. Star Trek debate right there?<br /><br />If you can't beat Attack of the Clones, Trekkies, you should really try to find some way to validate your existence...go develop a cure for cancer, start internet dating, or maybe accurately predict the summer's box office totals in your otherwise entertaining blog...something, Trekkies, something.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17573144755739059204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212843651825424118.post-25271409817083240052009-05-07T08:42:00.000-07:002009-05-07T08:42:00.000-07:00Actually, Tahoe, that already exists, check this o...Actually, Tahoe, that already exists, check this out:<br /><br />http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/adjusted.htmCasey Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06135447823367240175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212843651825424118.post-71401621165865625902009-05-06T21:33:00.000-07:002009-05-06T21:33:00.000-07:00I like the break down.

Your passion for movies gives me a wicked case of sausage shorts. <br /><br />How about we come up with an equation that factors gross sales x value of the dollar at the eclipse of it's time in the theater / the average price per ticket in the US at the time it was produced. This would calculate a real time figure that would equate every movie ever made equally on the gross box office scale. Call it the Box Office WHIP or BO-WHIP.
