Arnold Schwarzenegger's new comedy opened in fourth with $12.2 million. Buoyed by legions of loyal fans, the eighth Star Trek movie - and the first without the cast of the original 1960s TV show - had the best Trek movie opening ever. The critically praised adventure pitted Capt. Jean-Luc Picard and the rest of the ``Next Generation'' crew against the deadly man-machines collectively called the Borg. ``Space Jam'' was second with $16.6 million, followed by Mel Gibson's ``Ransom'' with $13.7 million. ``Jingle All the Way,'' which had mixed reviews, did relatively poorly given the track record of its larger-than-life star. The comedy stars Schwarzenegger as a father trying to get his son the hot Christmas toy of the year. |
