Star Trek Beyond tracking up to $60 million domestic opening weekend

July 3, 2016 by Gary Collinson

With less than three weeks to go until it beams into cinemas, Deadline is reporting that Paramount Pictures’ Star Trek Beyond is tracking a domestic opening weekend of between $48 million and $60 million.

Should Beyond fail to surpass that figure, it would be the lowest opening for the series following its 2009 relaunch, with J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek debuting to $75.2 million and Star Trek Into Darkness pulling in a first weekend haul of $70.2 million in 2013.

Star Trek Beyond opens against the animated sequel Ice Age: Collision Course and the James Wan-produced horror Lights Out, and also arrives a week after the release of Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters reboot.

“Star Trek Beyond,” the highly anticipated next installment in the globally popular Star Trek franchise, created by Gene Roddenberry and reintroduced by J.J. Abrams in 2009, returns with director Justin Lin (“The Fast and the Furious” franchise) at the helm of this epic voyage of the U.S.S. Enterprise and her intrepid crew. In “Beyond,” the Enterprise crew explores the furthest reaches of uncharted space, where they encounter a mysterious new enemy who puts them and everything the Federation stands for to the test.

Star Trek Beyond is set for release on July 22nd and features returning cast members Chris Pine as James Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, Simon Pegg as Scotty, Zoë Saldana as Uhura, Karl Urban as Bones, John Cho as Sulu and Anton Yelchin as Chekov alongside new additions Idris Elba (Luther), Sofia Boutella (Kingsman: The Secret Service), Joe Taslim (The Raid), Lydia Wilson (About Time) and Shohreh Aghdashloo (House of Sand and Fog).
