Do you want the Kelvin Universe to continue?

[fireproof78]

TMP could still happen in the Kelvin universe in a different manner.

Too close to Picard Season 1.

 

[Lucky]

Since I love the cast so much, I wouldn't mind another Kelvin Universe movie. But once those are done, I'd like to see movies taking place in the main timeline.

 

[Dukhat]

At this point I no longer care. I doubt another Star Trek movie will ever get made for the big screen.

 

[Set Harth]

Doesn’t mean we need to see it.

It stands to reason that V'ger, having been set up by events much earlier than 2233, is on its way in the Kelvin timeline just as in the prime. But as you say, that doesn't mean we have to see it.

I think it's inevitable that at some point TPTB will have another crack at it, but it may be a very long time coming. I don't see it never happening.

But Beyond did very well at the box office so I never understood the hesitance...

I truly believe they are letting perfection get in the way of good. It took them 4 years to get ID out after 2009 and that was great, and fun for fans and nonfans. Yet, they couldn't sort stuff out and went through drafts after drafts. It's crazy to me and something tells me it's just an extreme reticence to spend money without a promise of making a ton of money.

It "underperformed".

It "underperformed".

It failed to surpass ID's total to gross half a billion dollars, the way Paramount had really wanted it to.

10 Highest-Grossing Star Trek Movies, Ranked By Box Office Mojo (screenrant.com)

 

[Set Harth]

STID was the highest grossing ST movie?
I did not know that.

When V'ger comes, everyone will die. Even if Matt Decker's son is around in any similar circumstance, and Ilia too, and Kelvin Spock almost achieves Kolihnar (LOL this would be gold), and on top of it all, would you expect Kelvin Kirk to have everyone together in one place I'll stop now

 

[fireproof78]

would you expect Kelvin Kirk to have everyone together in

Yes.

Domestic gross was a bit less than that of 2009 movie, but it made a pile internationally.

 

[somebuddyX]

The films made money but did they make a profit? People keep saying they need to double the budget just to break even based on how much cinemas take and marketing. So sure 09 made 385$million but it cost 150$million and Beyond cost 185$million and made 343$million. That's no good. That's why TWOK was such a good investment back in the day when it cost 12$million and made 97$million.

 

[ScottJ85]

I'd be OK with the Kelvin movies not returning. They've already done what they set out to do, make a shitload of money and establish Trek as a going concern again.

 

[M'Sharak]

That's why TWOK was such a good investment back in the day when it cost 12$million and made 97$million.

The gross for TWoK stands at $79 million. You're transposing digits, maybe.

Maybe it's inflation, but I took it straight from the wikipedia page for TWOK.

 

[Set Harth]

boxofficemojo strangely omits the international numbers.

boxofficemojo strangely omits the international numbers.

I think you'll find that's true for any film series -- prior to late 1990s / early 2000s, international numbers are not available. For Star Trek films, looks like international figures are reported from Insurrection (1998) onward.

 

[Quantum21]

Yes, but at this point I'm open to a new crew.
