Do you think it had to do with the timing of the release?
What they cleared domestically was less than the last movie by at least $10 million, due to the budget. Foreign will make up for much of that but the movie was far from a home run.

I think it has to do with the limited Trek audience. It just doesn't resonate like a Superman or Batman or Avatar or Star Wars.

Oh, and as I said from the very start, calling it Star Trek into Darkness cost them money from the get go.

The first film earned more than $100 more than the production budget domestically. The second film hasn't earned even $40 million over production budget.

Paramount didn't spend $190 million on production for this kind of gross.
Maybe if they paid ticket stub rippers $15/hr.

Right, but it's not like they LOST money (*cough*Lone Ranger*cough*).

Maybe if they had released it in March or April, before the real summer blockbusters were out, they would have cleared more?

Yeah, but what were they supposed to do? Name it Star Trek 2.1: Kahns Origin?

LOL that is great- how true- the last one was pretty lame. But at least they ended the movie with No Doubt there will be a next one.

I can still dream, (especially if Abrams does somehow sign that multi-picture deal) right?
