There’s little doubt that the sequel to the most successful Star Trek film in history will perform lower than the third week of Iron Man 3. There are two questions about how well its opening weekend goes: will it top its predecessor’s $75 million opening and can it possibly pass $100 million? An opening close to Iron Man 3 is far beyond what the film can do, but to prove an opening weekend success, $100 million would be expected.

Individual Commentaries

Wesley Lovell: I’m not particuarly excited about any of this week’s entries. The English Teacher looks like the most amusing of any of them.
Peter J. Patrick: A little something for everyone this week.
Tripp Burton: Finally, a big Summer Release that I am looking forward to, plus a handful of interesting smaller features, make this a weekend to venture out for.
