All Paramount can really do is market to the target audience, which IMO, is a waste of money.
Die hard Trekkers are going regardless and I seriously doubt that this film will appeal to a broader fan base.

Meh. Marvel was able to get 775 million from Guardians of the Galaxy (starring a rabbit and a tree).
They also suck at tying in the series with the movies. They should have been replaying TNG and the original series in the lead up to the release to Into Darkness. Instead we got a WHO IS THIS VILLIAN IT'S NOT KHAN HOHOHO! (Which no one outside of trekkies knew anyways).
