I thought most of the marketing was really good

 

HOWEVER, I've always felt it was a mistake to hide the fact that

Cumberbatch was playing Khan

 

What good did that do the movie?

 

 

Yeah, I'm not sure that was a good decision.

True, that's the only fault one could make with the marketing. It wasn't a surprise anyways, so why try to pull it off as one?

[Elessar]

Khan is no Joker. To the GA it wouldn't make much difference.

[kitik]

No.

 

Most people disagree with you, but you are of course allowed to have your own opinion. And you're certainly not alone in that opinion either.

 

Regadrdless, IM3 is going to be the 5th biggest movie of all time, and its safe to say that far more people loved it than were turned off by the twist.

[MovieMan89]

IM3>STID. IM3 lives up to the first movie better than STID does. Also has more of a plot, and a better executed one.

So again, Box office equals qualitY? SM3 was once in the top ten grossing films worldwide too....

Who cares about the twist. I liked it, actually. That's the least of its problems.

IM3<<<<<<<<<<<<<<STID

If Trek disapoints, a blame should be put on the over predictions and the release date.

 

 

Predictions were understandable though, STXI was a well-received movie that had great legs, and STID added 3D too.

Isn't the argument that TDKR was a smashing success due to its boxoffice     

 

 

Just being a troll sorry. 

[fishstick]

Is it screwed yet?

 

No. It just isn`t frontloaded like Thursaday (former Midnight) wonders.

If Trek disapoints, a blame should be put on the over predictions and the release date. Marketing has been good in general, but it didn't generate much buzz.

 

Marketing wasn't a problem but they should have released it in 2012 on MD weekend but it could still rebound over the weekend so doom and gloom is premature.  

[kitik]

So again, Box office equals qualitY?

 

 

Of course not. The reviews and the WOM tell you all you need to know about IM3's quality. A lot of poeple hated it and got really fanboy butthurt over the twist, but the overwhelming majority of the GA has reacted very positively to it.

[Chewy]

Khan is no Joker. To the GA it wouldn't make much difference.

 

No one is the Joker. There's Joker and Darth Vader and then there's everyone else.

 

Khan is certainly a name that most people would strongly associate with this franchise, and recognize. Before the reboot (I hadn't seen any Star Trek), I could've told you who Kirk, Spock, Khan and Picard were. That's it

Online meme generator. I don't know why people are trying to keep it a secret. http://www.quickmeme.com/

 

 

So after I generate the meme, do I have to save it on my desktop before I can post it here?

[MovieMan89]

Do we even have any Thursday guesses yet (besides midnights)?

[Jandrew]

Predictions were understandable though, STXI was a well-received movie that had great legs, and STID added 3D too.

 

$350M and $400M were understandable? Spider Man, minus 3D, was in the same boat, and SM2 decreased.

[kitik]

No. It just isn`t frontloaded like Thursaday (former Midnight) wonders.

 

Yeah, in no way shape or form are any specific numbers locked in for Friday and Saturday for STID. Anything could still happen at this point.

right click the pic and copy the image url and post it here as a pic.

Really? I doubt that applies to many people. They know Kirk and Spock but not Khan.
