zackzack Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) Star Trek 2 made less than Gi Joe 2 overseas. People like to say "oh you just overpredicted the movie". Expecting it to outgross the original is not an over prediction or a loony prediction.' I am not a hater of this film. I loved it, but this revisionism is just embarrassing GI JOE is Big Mac. STID is Angus Steak compared to GI JOE. ...But STiD is still no Wolfgang Puck's Edited November 17, 2013 by zackzack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Firedeep simply doesn't understand how well STID performed compared to every other Trek film ever. It's a franchise that only now has found international footing to grow in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One reason is becasue back when the first 10 Trek movies were made, most movies didnt do big numbers in OS anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dashrendar44 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 the main problem I have is not people saying Star Trek 2 still did all right. It is the people going "only loonies were predicting higher numbers" Who's people? Because the only one that said that repeatedly like he already knew this would perform less than ST09 is Captain Craig. I didn't see any other poster trying to say that only loonies overpredicted, every other posters agree that it didn't perform as they expected, that was a disappointment. That's where I don't understand your "anti-revisionism" crusade for one poster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though, only original Oblivion and AE among those did less OS, yet not far behind, than STID ... lol So you call these movies underperformers? Then that only shows STID did relatively well. THE WOLVERINE is the biggest Wolvy movie, and yet STID still made more than it. After two films, G.I. JOE couldn't even touch 400 M. Your beloved THE SMURFS ll went down big time. And OBLIVION and AFTER EARTH, despite having A-list stars didn't even touch 300 M. People expected a lot from this, that's true. But it's box office performance isn't terrible at all.

And you just ignore the fact STID had shitload more budgets than all those movies ? LOL. TW OS gross made up really well, so it performed very good, only has a 120m budget. Similar to GIJ2, TS2, OB, AE, all with budgets less than 130m. STID had a shit 190m budget. It is so obvious. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Never thought 2015 was likely, the 50th anniversary was too good an opportunity to miss for Paramount and CBS, the latter owns the Star Trek brand and it'll likely be a huge revenue earner for both companies so we'll probably likely have interviews with casts from the likes of Shatner, Nimoy, Stewart etc if they promote STIII and the 50th like MGM, Sony and EON did with Bond's 50th and Skyfall, STIII will likely be able to top both Star Trek and STID.
