Well I knew it would be close. The other days I put up a post suggesting it was possible that Star Trek, in its second week could beat out Angels and Demons at the box office this past weekend. I did say “I wouldn’t put money on it”, but all the signs pointed towards the possibility… and man it was close.
Angels and Demons (on its opening weekend) just barely squeaked out a box office win over Star Trek (in its second week). Angels and Demons made a disappointing $48 million (great numbers for most movies… but when the first film made almost $78 million on its opening weekend you can’t see it any other way than a let down). While Star Trek only dropped about 40% to pull in $43 million.
