Star Trek didn't fall flat on its face and put up some respectable numbers (kind of cheating over a 4-day weekend...but we won't get into that). The people involved should be more than happy considering how troubled the franchise's history has been. But I could have told you ahead of time that it was not going to be the top movie at the box office this year.
However, it may have trouble making back its $150 million budget until the DVD/Blu-Ray release comes out. Studios generally only make back 55% of the gross box office receipts as the rest has to go to theaters, etc. But it will turn a decent profit.

Terminator 4, Harry Potter, and Transformers 2 are the ones to watch in terms of which movie is going to be the box office king. Angels and Demons might surprise some people and dethrone Wolverine or Star Wars.

On top of that, I also heard that the studio spent another $150 for advertising. They are really banking on this movie.
