‘Star Trek’ Getting IMAX Re-Release

At 100 IMAX locations, you will have the opportunity to check out J.J. Abrams’ ‘Star Trek’ if you didn’t jump at the chance back when the film was released back in May.   According to Variety, beginning this Friday, September 4th, ‘Star Trek’ will be re-released in IMAX theaters across the country for two weeks.   However, be sure to check movie times before running out to see it at your local, IMAX theater.   It will not be playing full schedules.

When ‘Star Trek’ was released on May 8th, it was only allowed a two-week run at IMAX theaters.   The release of ‘Night at the Museum 2’ pushed it out of theaters short of the typical, four-week run.   Now, with ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’ fulfilling its IMAX run, the high definition theaters will make way for ‘Star Trek’ to finish the Summer strong.

‘Star Trek’ pulled in $383 million worldwide.   It currently sits at #5 on the domestic charts for 2009.
