Hits

'Star Trek': No one expected that the 11th film in the franchise would be the biggest movie of the year to date. But director J.J. Abrams put in enough nods to the legacy for older fans and enough action for younger moviegoers to beam up $233 million so far.

'Up': Only Pixar could have pulled this one off. Even without superheroes or talking fish, this story of an old man and a boy who take a balloon adventure has lifted off to $191 million and is on pace to crack $250 million.

'The Hangover':Warner Bros. thought it might have a sleeper hit that could collect $100 million. After it grossed $110 million in 11 days, oddsmakers are doubling their prediction for this Vegas raunch fest.

Misses

'Land of the Lost': Will Ferrell, a $100 million budget and an omnipresent marketing campaign couldn't lure moviegoers into this land of unkind reviews. The film has mustered just $36 million and is fading faster than a Sleestak from a flame.

'Imagine That': Few thought much of this family comedy, but even analysts were stunned when the Eddie Murphy film opened to $6 million — less than half what was projected. "I think he still had the stigma of Meet Dave," says Gitesh Pandya of BoxOfficeGuru.com. "People didn't trust him this time around."

Middling performers

'Angels Demons': This follow-up to The Da Vinci Code was never considered to be the must-see its predecessor was, but Demons' $124 million is on the low end of expectations. It has been boosted, however, by worldwide box office, up to $415 million.

'Terminator Salvation': Christian Bale's performance — and off-screen tirade — didn't do much to rejuvenate this franchise, which could have its lowest performer in Salvation. The film has pulled in $115 million and an additional $100 million overseas, barely enough to recoup its $200 million budget.

'X-Men Origins: Wolverine': The $150 million comic-book adaptation got summer off to a heated start with an $85 million debut. But it has sputtered to reach $176 million. The upside: It has taken in $353 million worldwide.
