    Umm, Star Trek sequel's not coming out in 2011.. the scriptwriters and JJ himself have hinted at 2012..

    Also, how about updating the figures now? Avatar has already become 2nd, and looks set to become no. 1...

    And, how about doing one with the major criterion being the intl. grosses??
