Cinema: Star Trek rules international roost with $35.5m overseas launch - by Jeremy Kay
Star Trek, J J Abrams’ franchise reboot from Paramount/Spyglass Entertainment, coaxed a sturdy $35.5m from more than 5,000 sites across 54 territories in its maiden voyage according to PPI estimates, ranking number one in 23 markets. In Europe weekend results were led predictably enough by the UK where Star Trek grossed $8.8m (£6m) from 501 venues. Excluding of £800,000 in previews this came in roughly 6% ahead of the £4.8m debut of Wolverine last weekend. Germany delivered $4.6m (€3.4m) including €430,000 in previews from 693 sites, roughly 17% ahead of the €3m for Wolverine, while Australia produced $3.4m (A$4.5m) from 210 venues. Star Trek grossed $2.8m (€2.1m) from 492 sites in France, $2.3m (Roubles 74m) from 450 locations in Russia.
