As it stands, ID is $47 million shy of Star Trek's domestic earnings. While it'll likely earn that $15 million, putting it on par with the prior film's earnings, plus the additional $40 million it cost to make, it's certainly not what Paramount had in mind when green-lighting this film and waiting four years for its release.
It's not really a "winner", especially considering the domestic gross, which it isn't like to match.

That makes sense. Like I said, I hadn't done any real research into the numbers. Just some looking at the oversimplified wikipedia stuff. I knew it was a domestic letdown either way. Thanks for the info.
