It's a blockbuster world, and we're all just living in it.
Star Trek into Darkness is the third successful weekend launch in a row. It's about on course with the four-day launch of the first film, which went on to gross $257 million domestic and a worldwide total of $385 million. I get the feeling the domestic will be less this time around but the worldwide will be more, and therefore it'll be about as profitable.
Iron Man 3 remains huge. It's already passed $1 billion worldwide.
The Great Gatsby is Baz Luhrmann's highest-grossing film to date. The decision to move it to this summer has proven to be a smart one. I don't think it would have hit $100 million in the Christmas 2012 crowd.
Everything else still in theaters is lucky to be there. This coming week will see three more wide releases (Epic, Fast & Furious 6, Hangover 3) consume more screens.
