Did it? Or was it the fantastic marketing campaign, the epic promotion during the Olympics and the Adele song that hyped people?

 

The 50th Anniversary war a part of the fantastic marketing campaign.

Episode 10 2027.

 

Just saying.

I agree with Chewy. I loved the Beastie Boys trailer, that's the one that got me interested in seeing Beyond. It offered something different, a unique look while at the same time, make it feel more Trek than the boring generic action fare that was STID.

But nobody cares about Trek and STID did 470M WW. Because STID didn't felt like Trek. That is why it did so well. The marketing of that one was terrific.

But when you have a franchise which clearly needs OS growth to work, selling something completely different doesn't work. Especially since it was received so badly by Trekkies in the US.

Paddington is a British cultural icon, so it's not exactly shocking that it beat Star Trek.

They needed to built on the work done on Into Darkness. Instead they said fuck it all lol.

Feel like it helped somewhat. But people think of Bond as cool and Star Trek as Star Trek

After Spectre?

I'm grateful that we can all rag on Trek's OS performance in peace without all the bickering. Really brings us together

Sony and Paramount's massive fuck ups OS with their tentpole releases this year are a thing of beauty. And they were both fucked from the start.

Sony is probably hoping the Spiderboot does 1B lmao. 

 

I guess they will make TF6 as a final chapter. Time to bring back Megan Fox!
