At warp speed, ‘Star Trek’ zooms to top box-office spot
LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Star Trek" beamed itself up to the top of the box office, earning $76.5 million in its opening weekend.
Paramount Pictures had estimated that the movie would make about $50 million for the weekend, but figured that strong reviews helped carry it to the bigger opening. As expected, last week's top film, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," came in at No. 2 with $27 million.
