Neo

Star Trek Beyond | 7.22.2016 | Not an Oscar winner.

Recommended Posts



I don't think STID is nearly as loathed by the GA as it is by trekkers (myself included). Most of my friends who saw it really liked it. I guess if you don't re-watch Wrath of Khan on a weekly basis (like me), those groansome lines of dialogue lifted wholesale don't feel nearly as clunky.

 

That being said, I think we're mostly looking at a SKYFALL > SPECTRE type situation here. Slightly milder opening and legs. I know we're 3 months away but the buzz and awareness for this compared to a lot of other summer tentpoles feels thin. In fact, Spectre's OW and total ($70m / $200m) feel like realistic targets right now.

 

OS is another matter. ST09 was at $127m, STID nearly doubled this to $235m. Ex rates will hold back a similarly exponential growth this time round but $300m feels do-able (is this planned for a China release?)

With Nimoy's passing and him being the tie back to the Trek Prime Universe I think that they should find a way to bring Shatner's Kirk into a likely 4th film. 

A tie to the Nexus seems the easiest way to go and have ShatnerKirk dropped into the 24th century where Picard picks him up, or Riker.

Is Paramount going to promote this, at least a new trailer?

Obviously. At some point. There's just no need for one quite yet. Maybe with one of the big May blockbusters like Civil War.

This movie needed a new trailer about 30 seconds after the first one debuted.

I guess you could say that Paramount is intentionally trying to...sabotage the movie.

I met someone working on this in the Post side of things. Their lips were sealed, NDAed up the wazoo, but they did say Lin was nice, was a big Trek fan and seemed sincerely passionate about doing a worthy job to honor the franchise. Whether that means anything... who knows?

Its so secretive not everyone at Paramount is even aware of the plot.
