Yeah, I didn't think that comment was even worth pointing out. WTF?

shmokes:
HarumaN, are you talking about it's total gross or just opening weekend?  Seriously, this thing will take in well WAY more than that overall.  X-men Origins: Wolverine opened to $85 million.  We're talking about a number 4 sequel/spinoff (or prequel, I guess) after number 3 was really really bad.  Seriously . . . you're right that this will not displace Dark Knight, but $45 million is an incredibly low prediction, especially considering that it opened a day early (on a Thursday rather than a Friday).

Dr. Seuss's Horton Hears a Who did $45 million.  XXX (that Vin Diesel action movie) did $44.5 million opening weekend.  You really think that a Star Trek reboot with the kind of hype and reviews this movie is getting could underperform XXX?  No way.  This movie will probably have a $90 million opening.  Not a $45 million opening.

Go here to see how other movies have performed in their opening weekends

Also, keep in mind the competition.  The only other movie opening up this weekend is Next Day Air.  Seriously?  You think that's going to draw anyone away from Star Trek?  Then there's Wolverine -- for one thing it's already been out for a week, and for another there's almost nobody in the world that would be interested in a movie like Wolverine, but not Star Trek.  For another, Wolverine is getting mediocre reviews at best, while Star Trek is being raved about by everyone.  Then there's Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.  That's it.  That's the competition.  

Star Trek will have a huge opening, and a huge total gross.

Hoopz:
I'm pretty sure he meant total gross....

shardian:
I expect $90 million or so.

HaRuMaN:
Oh yeah, I agree that 45 mil is way too low...  but to suggest it's going to approach Dark Knight opening gross ($155.3 mil, btw) is just crazy.  ::)
