Star Trek 2 OS thread

Recommended Posts



Because 300M-plus is considered good for a $200M budgeted sci-fi action sequel. At same scales, both nonsequle PR and WWZ did it.

 

Paramount marketed the shit out of it. They even did a one-month-long World Tour to promote it.

 

Same group of people still dont want to accept the fact STID is big disappointment both DOM and OS. They over hyped the shit out of it. And now they celebrate it as if it were a huge achivement.

 

 

you definitely bring up some good points. It looks like no matter how hard they try Star Trek will never be a huge performer overseas. Overall STID is not a big hit by any means. It barely doubled its budget.

So unless this Star Trek did roughly 2.7x more than the best OS performance of the last 11 ST movies it would had been a failure?

 

Your a crazy crazy man.

 

None of those films had STiD, there is no comparison between STiD and a 20 year old film with a fifth of the budget. A film with a blockbuster budget making less than 250M OS in 2013 just isn't an impressive feat.

ST in 2009 had 125M~, 

3, 5, 10, 20 years ago it doesn't matter, ST has never been popular overseas. It has a stigma. Comparing it to another franchise and going lol only $230M does not do it justice. It is is not very good Boxoffice Analysis in my opinion.

It isn't just in comparison to other films, it's also in comparison to expectations, here's the WW predictions for STiD in the summer game:

 

Neo - $815M

iTz ED - $752M

JackO - $750M

TylerDurden365 - $730M

druv10 - $720M

Jake Gittes - $713M

24Lost - $711M

c00k13 - $700M

Simionski - $700M

acsc1312 - $680M

DAR - $675M

Schumacher FTW - $670M

Filmovie - $664M

iceroll - $650M

Punishment - $650M

Iron Olive - $650M

Fake - $650M

Gizmo - $650M

Sam - $630M

Cmasterclay - $630M

Glassfairy - $630M

Michael G Scott - $625M

The Stingray - $625M

Blankments Into Darkness - $625M

RichWS - $615M

narniadis - $575M

Jay Salahi - $571M

Dexter of Suburbia - $570M

TLK - $570M

CJohn - $560M

Goffe - $548M

Tower - $521M

junkshop38 - $515M

ChFloppit - $485M

laguy03 - $485M

 

This is making less than all of those.

 

Franchises can change how the market sees them if you make them look more blockbustery. The first three films in the Fast franchise made less than 110M OS (worse than ST 09), but it turned into a blockbuster anyway and this year made 550M.

Good point. Some people just dont see (or are just in denial mode).

Given how much I love the first Trek, I played the conservative with my 548m prediction and yet, I was heavily disappointed by its gross. There's no excuse, Paramount promoted STiD the hell of it, It had the goodwill from the first, 3D and developed markets

Its like if you predict 1B for TDW and it makes 700M WW, is that considered bad, the answer is no?

It cannot be considered bad if only you predicted that much, but if more than 50% of the folks here predict, like 1b or close to it, 700m will be considered bad.
