Weekend Box-Office Results: 'Star Trek' Travels At Warp Speed To First Place

Iron Man 3 has been in first place for two weeks thus far but can J.J. Abrams pull a fast one and place first this weekend at the box-office?  Star Trek is a lucrative franchise with television shows, movies, merchandising, a language, and more that predates Star Wars but it’s not as profitable as the other Star franchise.  The firs tStar Trek reboot back in 2009 managed to bring in $79 million but can Abrams repeat business?

Blu-Ray Releases: May 7th, 2013

For this Tuesday, it's really hit or miss depending on what your taste is.  Safe Haven is one of the films that finds it's way onto Blu-ray and DVD, same with Jack Reacher.  I would go as far as to say that Jack Reacher is the biggest film this week, but that's like saying this rotten banana peel is much better than those rotten orange peel.  

Jack Reacher

Tom Cruise, Rosamund Pike, Richard Jenkins.  Directed by Christopher McQuarrie
