picores Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) Release date is not bad at all. July only has Tarzan and Ghostbusters as actioners before Star Trek, and they wont be massive. Marketplace should be quite open for it. Bourne will hurt it on second weekend though, and Suicide Squad on August. Legs will be worse this time. Remember the second one had impressive legs and Memorial on second weekend. I'm confident about a good OW in line with Into Darkness. OS will pass easily Into Darkness. China should be a good boost. 300m+ for sure. I bet they lower the budget this time to 150-170m. Expecting a good 500-600m WW. 72/205/350/555 Edited March 13, 2016 by picores 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) Wow... When Moore joined Trek was at its best. Also, BSG. 'nough said. Not to not giving credit to Ira Steven Behr, he was one of the main creatives on the show. Edited March 13, 2016 by Elessar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprised. That's enough incentive for me to never watch old Star Trek stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babz06 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 This is probably one of the least anticipated movies of the summer. The second trailer better be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 It feels like enthusiasm for this rebooted series has been fading ever since the news that JJ was going off to direct Star Wars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75Live Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I just hope for a different film instead of trying Wrath of Khan storyline twice once without Khan and they thought it would be better to add Khan, in secret of course, in the next one. Neither were good, so I don't have any crazy expectations for this one which could be good in the long run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked ST09, even with its problems. And I was liking STID well enough until they got to the last half-hour, Khan did his disappointing heel turn, and then they just started lifting things wholesale from Wrath of Khan. It was just unnecessary and incredibly distracting as a Trek fan. I can understand why it didn't bother the average moviegoer, but I found that stuff grating. I also think Orci and Kurtzman are very poor storytellers in terms of world-building. In the first one, they invented a transporter that can transport you from star system to star system, and in the second one they used magic Khan blood to resurrect a dead Kirk. So, by the end of Into Darkness, we've got a Federation that has discovered the secret to immortality and no longer has a need for starships anymore since it can beam massive distances in the blink of an eye. That's an interesting setup for a sci-fi universe, but it's not Star Trek. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Memo to studios: plz greenlit a HYPERION franchise, with each budgeted at 200m+ per. KTHXBAI) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be a soft reboot of the universe, keeping some things from the previous 2 movies and discarding literally everything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably right especially since their Spock cheat code unfortunately is not longer around. Unless they decide to pull in George Takei to make up for that or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like how they baited him into the Mutaran Nebula in Wrath of Khan to where he, despite being a "superior intellect" was entirely at a disadvantage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get Kirk and Scotty on the Enterprise, so let's just do the first thing we think of. Hey, how about just letting Spock give them some warp formula from the future that lets them go faster than the ships in that time can so they can catch up in a shuttle, something which, you know, doesn't break the fricking universe? And Kirk dies, so let's bring him back with Khan blood. You know what might work better in this fresh reboot of yours? Surprise us. Let him actually stay dead. Let Spock, the real star of NuTrek, become captain of the Enterprise. You want to do "The Search for Kirk" in the next one? Fine. Or you want to keep Chris Pine in your franchise some other way? Do a Mirror Universe film next and let's see evil Captain Kirk. Anything but the cheap theatrics of a fake-out death that you reverse in five minutes with magic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I see the abbreviation STID I think of disease, given the meaning of STD and STI. Combined with the fact that there is no colon... whichever marketing team decided that STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS was a good title for a film, they all need to be given a good whipping. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
