Star Trek Into Darkness opened in seven, relatively-small international markets this weekend (Austria, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Germany, and the United Kingdom) and earned $31.7M which is up an average of 70% more than the opening numbers the first Star Trek garnered in those same territories.
However, next week is the big release date as the film is set to open wide in the U.S., Canada and Hong Kong.
