"Star Trek" made back about half of its projected budget (about $150 million) and probably will rake in more from this film for the rest of the summer.
"Wolverine" dropped by 68 percent and will still need to make over $100 million more to make a good enough profit (though a sequel is already in the works).

Other films are still staying there and another film will drop off the bottom as "Angels and Demons" hits theaters this Friday. Who will win out this weekend?
