The Christian Bale release, "Terminator 4," scored $67 million, but that includes a five day gross. ("Terminator 4" was released on Thursday). "Star Trek 11" claimed the #3 notch with nearly $30 million during the four day weekend. And last week's #1 movie, "Angels & Demons," the sequel to "The DaVinci Code," dropped to #4.
