Star Trek Into Darkness may have tried to boldly go where no blockbuster had gone before, but unfortunately, it appears to have fallen a few million dollars short of that!

Although the J.J. Abrams-directed sequel was expected to rack in between $ 90-$ 100 million during its opening box office weekend, the numbers are now in….and apparently, audiences were not as thrilled to see Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto battle it out with Benedict Cumberbatch, as it only secured about $ 70.6 million!

But don’t fret, Trekkies!

The flick STILL beat out all of the competition for the weekend’s number one spot domestically, and in the process crushed both Iron Man 3, which came in second with $ 35.2 million, and The Great Gatsby, which made a cool $ 23.4 and rounded out the top three!
