It didn't grab the No. 5 spot for the third week in a row, but it almost got No. 6.

"Star Trek" earned $5.6 million at the box office over the weekend, beating out "Terminator: Salvation," "Drag Me To Hell" and "Angels & Demons."

It nearly beat the premiere of the new Eddie Murphy film "Imagine That," which has flopped. That film pulled in just $100,000 more than "Star Trek," and was well behind the $9.2 million from "Land of the Lost" that held the No. 5 place.

"The Hangover," in its second week." earned $33.4 million, to take the top spot.

However it seems that the Disney/Pixar film "Up" will be the film that will topple "Star Trek's" status as the biggest box office draw of the year. The film, which includes the voices of Ed Asner and "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" villain actor Christopher Plummer, earned another $30.5 million at the box office, bringing its total to $187.2 million. It's likely to overtake the $232.1 million "Star Trek" has earned so far in just by July.

While "Star Trek" has led the box office almost from its third week, it was never expected to be the top film of the year in terms of box office. However, the latest film from J.J. Abrams, and the eleventh in the franchise, has far exceeded money expectations by Paramount and has become one of the best reviewed films of the year getting a 95 percent rating by Rotten Tomatoes.

The studio has already ordered a script for a sequel, and there's very little doubt that Paramount will produce it.
