Which Star Trek film was the first to gross over $100 million at the US box office?

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home was the first Star Trek film to gross more than $100 million at the U.S. box office.

Released in North America on November 26, 1986, the film earned about $109.7 million in the U.S. and Canada and approximately $133 million worldwide. That performance made it the franchise’s strongest theatrical success at the time, surpassing the earlier films’ domestic totals.

The film’s commercial appeal came partly from its lighter, comedic tone. Instead of centering on a conventional villain, the story sends the crew back to 20th-century Earth to retrieve humpback whales and save the future from an alien probe. Leonard Nimoy directed, while the screenplay was developed by Harve Bennett, Nicholas Meyer, and others.

A common mix-up is Star Trek: First Contact, which was also a major hit but earned about $92 million in the U.S. and Canada. The earlier Star Trek: The Motion Picture had a larger worldwide total than some sequels, but it did not pass $100 million domestically.
