In addition, to date, the film has grossed approximately $20-million in Imax theatres worldwide.

"Imax is grateful to have a champion in J.J. Abrams, who's maximized the potential of Imax by leveraging our capture technology in the production and storytelling of Star Trek Into Darkness," said Greg Foster, chairman and president of Imax Entertainment. "With the film garnering an 'A' grade from CinemaScore and our indexing at significant levels, we look forward to what the next few weeks holds. Once again, Bad Robot and Paramount have delivered an experience that connects with Imax audiences everywhere."
