For the first time in four years the second weekend of May will see a new release debut in the number one spot as Paramount boldly re-energizes one of its oldest franchises with the new Star Trek which aims to topple last weekend's champ X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The frame's only other new title, the comedy Next Day Air, gets a much more subdued launch and will find itself much lower on the charts. The battling action tentpoles should lead the North American box office to a solid win over last year's comparable session helping the summer continue its red hot start.

Big fan of pretty girls and zombies? Then you probably already dig the "Resident Evil" franchise. (Well, the first flick, anyway.) IGN FilmForce has snagged an early pair of "RE3" pics that are heavy on the girls and light on the zombies.
