    but no series really looked too much at the Beta Quadrant.

    I have to disagree. Vulcan, the Klingon and Romulan Empires, Andoria, Risa, Rigel, Son'a Prime and a number of other planets from the Beta Quadrant have been the subjects of many episodes/movies in the franchise. Other than the Founders and the worlds they controlled, they only really scratched the surface of the Gamma Quadrant on DS9.

    Interesting that you say "Domestic" there when it is for both the U.S. and Canada but a few years ago you were ready to throw a live grenade at me when I said that Canadians were Americans... ;)

     

    Calling it "domestic" is not my terminology but the terminology of the mostly US-based movie industry. And I would still be ready to throw a live grenade at you for saying that. :superhappy:

    lol But answer this, is Canada in America? :spock:

     

    It's all a matter of semantics, isn't it. IIRC, I was actually going to figuratively injure you for saying that Canadians are the same as Americans, not that Canadians are Americans (figuratively because we Canadians abhor violence).

     

    Whatever you want to call it, the box office totals are impressive.

    Rather than a reboot of the post-TOS series, I'd like to see what the 24th century has to offer based on the timeline from the new movie but with different characters. Maybe in 10 or 15 years I could handle a reboot of TNG but it's too soon now.

     

    And if anyone wants to discuss Chicago-style pizza they are free to do so in the Off Topic Discussions forum. And I'm not even close to being annoyed.

    Box Office Mojo has Tuesday box office numbers listed and Star Trek pulled in just of $6.5 million so the total to date (without international numbers) is now just over $93.2 million. They have some limited numbers internationally with the UK, Ireland and Malta at just over $9 million, Russia at almost $2 million, New Zealand and Fiji at almost $500,000 and the Ukraine at just over $190,000.

    Takara: Thanks for the link! :spock: Box Office Mojo has actually been my primary source all along (I posted it in the top of this thread actually), but when I was checking it they hadn't yet updated the total domestic gross to include Monday. ;)

     

    D'OH! And I don't have the excuse of running on 1 hour sleep, etc. for not noticing that. :superhappy:

     

    I am glad the movie is doing so well. Hopefully this will get people interested in earlier Trek as well.

    Click for Spoiler:

    They're not really new Romulans. They still have the forehead ridge (although it may be slightly less pronounced). They've just shaved their heads and tattooed their bodies out of grief.

    I disagree. You can hardly tell they had ridges. I couldn't see them and if you hadn't posted that they did have them I wouldn't have known they were there. Look at this picture:

    Can you see ridges? They look more like creases in his forehead than ridges.
