At the moment, Star Trek (2009) is the highest-grossing movie in North America, having made an estimated $243,699,000 through Friday, June 26th according to Box Office Mojo. It reached this milestone near the end of May. But sadly it can’t last.

Up, which opened on May 29th, has made an estimated $241,123,000 as of Friday, June 26th and stands a good chance of toppling Star Trek (2009). But another summer blockbuster, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, will likely soon easily beat both. It has made an incredible $125,946,000 in just three days.

While its a little sad for this Star Trek fan to see the movie dethroned as the highest-grossing movie of 2009, when that finally happens it won’t diminish at all the incredible accomplishment that was Star Trek (2009). Love it or hate it, there’s no denying it made an awful lot of money and thus, in a financial sense, was a staggering success.
