As reported by Airlock Alpha, J.J. Abrams' 'Star Trek' has surpassed the $200 million mark at the box office.  Beating out Monsters and Aliens and being the first to pass $200 million 'Star Trek' holds on to the 5th spot in the top ten, but it's days may be numbered.  however, it is still on track to be the highest grossing film of 2009.

"Star Trek" finished fifth with a $12.8 million weekend, which brings its total box office for the year to $209 million, the most of any film so far this year. Earlier this week, "Star Trek" surpassed the box office take of "Monsters vs. Aliens," and is now $15 million ahead of the film.

It won't be long before "Star Trek" moves off the charts. It lost 44 percent of its box office this weekend, and is widely expected to drop below the $10 million mark next weekend. But it was still a solid run for the film, which had minimal drop off after a strong opening compared to other action genre movies, and it's expected to do very well on DVD later this year, possibly gearing for a Christmas season release.
