The second weekend for Star Trek saw even more records fall as it added $5.3 million on 138 screens over the weekend for a per screen average of $38,000, both of which are records. Overall the film has made $19.9 million worldwide playing on 163 screens, which is also a record for this point in a film's IMAX run. That's the good news. The bad news is on Friday, the film will be booted out of IMAX theaters to make room for Night at the Museum 2.

Night at the Museum 2 isn't the only upcoming IMAX release, as Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen starts next month and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince debuts the month after that. Further down the road, A Christmas Carol opens in IMAX theaters in November.
