Star Trek Into Darkness beams up $70.1M at box office
17 hours ago | Cineplex | See recent Cineplex news »
Star Trek: Into Darkness didn't warp past its predecessor.
The sci-fi sequel directed by J.J. Abrams earned $70.1 million in its opening weekend. The original Trek reboot starring fresh faces Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Zoe Saldana as part of the crew of the Enterprise opened with $75.2 million in 2009.
Abrams' sequel amped up the action with 3D and cast popular British import Benedict Cumberbatch as the villain John Harrison, whom Captain Kirk is dedicated to taking down.
Overall, critics were pleased with the sequel, which brought back its supporting cast including John Cho, Anton Yelchin, Simon Pegg and Karl Urban, earning it an 86 per cent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes,very strong but a little less impressive than the 95 per cent score earned by the 2009 sci-fi flick.

Star Trek Into Darkness: Mediocrity Gets A Familiar Face
21 May 2013 3:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
The blockbuster season has started. It might not be summer quite yet, but already we have seen some of this year’s biggest movies released into theatres. Iron Man Three, Oblivion, and Fast and Furious 6 have all entertained and frustrated audiences in equal measure.
The biggest success so far, critically at least, is Star Trek Into Darkness. Of the blockbuster movies released so far this year, it has received the highest Rotten Tomatoes score. But is this a fair reflection on the movie itself?
In 2009, Jj Abrams’ rebooted Star Trek pleased fans and newcomers alike, with a mix of entertaining characters, comedy one-liners and action. A whole new generation fell in love with the crew of the USS Enterprise, and as a result, there was a lot of expectation for this year’s sequel. The critical success of Star Trek Into Darkness seems, to me at least, to be due »

Global TV Sales Get Serious With L.A. Screenings
20 May 2013 7:45 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Drama is taking centerstage at this year’s L.A. Screenings.
Most of the big TV stories of the past season were about dramas old and new breaking out (to various degrees) — whether the CW’s “Arrow,” NBC’s “Revolution,” PBS’ “Downton Abbey,” AMC’s “The Walking Dead” or History miniseries “The Bible.” Networks both here and abroad are looking for ways to duplicate that success for themselves.
“The shows that work best internationally are episodic procedurals with interesting lead characters,” says Jeffrey Schlesinger, who last week was promoted to prexy of Warner Bros. Worldwide Television Distribution.
That said, with more channels to fill, international buyers are just as interested in all different sorts of shows — from broad comedy to intense action — as domestic buyers. But the drama market looks particularly fertile.
Genre dramas remain popular this season, with networks picking up several series with sci-fi or fantastical premises.

'Star Trek Into Darkness:' 8 Things You May Have Missed the First Time Around
20 May 2013 5:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Warning: Crazy Spoilers Herein.
It's become a bit of a tradition in Hollywood for the creators of pop culture-friendly franchises to hide a few Easter eggs in the film for hardcore fans to find and get giggly over. "Iron Man 3" did it just this month while Marvel's other giant blockbuster, "The Avengers," perfected the art last year.
But while those movies were at least sometimes subtle about their references and in-jokes, "Star Trek Into Darkness" has taken a somewhat different approach: smacking you right in the face with them at every single opportunity.
Of course, that's bound to happen when your whole film is taken part and parcel from the most beloved "Star Trek" installment of all time, "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan." But since not everyone going to see "Star Trek Into Darkness" has a Ph.D. in Trekkery ("Wrath of Khan" did come out over 30 years ago, »

Star Trek Into Darkness is off and running in theaters right now and up to $164.6 million worldwide. Last week, as the North American publicity tour wound down co-stars Simon Pegg, John Cho and Alice Eve ventured into Seattle where I had a chance to sit down with Scotty, Sulu and Carol Marcus to discuss the film, their aspiration, their reactions upon learning their director was also going to direct Star Wars: Episode VII and also ask where do all the dogs go in the future? The mood was light and festive as you'll quickly see... Do you have to get into shape for Star Trek? Are the suits form-fitting? Simon Pegg (Sp): Nah, I like to live my life like an international rock star. No, um, I was in quite good shape already because I came off shooting Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol.

New Star Trek 2,Into Darkness movie delivered great action,drama,twists & more. Paramount Pictures released their new sci-fi/action flick, "Star Trek 2: Into Darkness" into theaters this weekend. I just checked it out,and thought it was absolutely magnificent as it delivered big on the action,and the plotline was golden with tons of major twists towards the end. The drama was really intense too as Spock and Kirk really connected for some teary-eyed moments. I mean, I didn't cry,but I certainly would never rag on anyone who did. The movie stars: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, John Cho, Bruce Greenwood, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin, Benedict Cumberbatch, Alice Eve, and Peter Weller. In the new flick, Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) loses command of the Enterprise after he violates the Prime Directive in an effort to save his first Officer,Spock,from getting destroyed by »

Will the Star Trek Sequel Easily Surpass the Opening Weekend Box Office Take of Its Predecessor?

Star Trek Into Darkness box office: Solid or disappointing domestic debut? (Photo: Chris Pine as Captain Kirk and Zachary Quinto as Spock in Star Trek Into Darkness) J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek Into Darkness, starring Chris Pine as Captain Kirk and Zachary Quinto as Spock, has to date grossed $13.4 million in North America, including from 336 late-night Wednesday IMAX shows and all-day showtimes at 3,668 locations on Thursday. As explained by Ray Subers at Box Office Mojo, first-day figures may have been below par because Paramount Pictures changed Star Trek Into Darkness‘ release date last week — the Star Trek sequel was to have opened on Friday. (Addendum: Barring an unexpected Saturday and Sunday surge, “disappointing” is the word for Star Trek Into Darkness’ domestic box-office debut.) For comparison’s sake: With $11.53m on Thursday proper, Star Trek Into Darkness had the 11th biggest Thursday opening ever (not adjusted for inflation). Its Thursday debut, »

Karl Urban Says Dredd Sequel May Happen
17 May 2013 5:05 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Karl Urban's "Dredd" reboot hit theaters in September and went on to gross only $32 million globally on a $50 million budget. Sequel plans were immediately cancelled and the studio began auctioning off props and costumes to recoup some of the costs. But in a new interview with Urban, the actor revealed that a sequel is still being considered. "Interestingly enough, I did have breakfast with [writer] Alex Garland this morning. It's not off the agenda," he said. "Clearly everyone has woken up to the fact that an audience has found this movie and loves it. [A sequel is] entirely possible, and if people want to see another installment then they should be vocal about that, because, it can happen." Garland previously spoke about his ideas for potential sequels, stating: "If they want to make sequels, I've got a story that goes from this one into the origins of Dredd and the city. Then the »
Film Review: Visual Excess Dims ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’
17 May 2013 3:42 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The anticipation of experiencing the rebooted crew of the starship Enterprise now may overwhelm any creative team’s ability to deliver to that anticipation. “Star Trek Into Darkness” piles on the space war excess, while lessening the savory humanity and memorable characters.
Rating: 3.0/5.0
After successfully relaunching and rebooting the characters and universe of Star Trek in 2009, the team of screenwriters Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, Damon Lindelof and director J.J. Abrams have serious “Iron Man 2” syndrome in the follow-up – the tendency to emphasize the larger-than-life gadgets and effects over the smaller-than-life interactions of the humans operating the machines. What makes it a bit frustrating is that they nailed the first one so well, that evolving to the second adventure was an anticipatory slam dunk. There are many fine moments involving the Enterprise crew, but those tasty bits are covered with the fake butter of a franchise summer movie. It »
