Because not that many people actually like Star Trek enough to want to go see it in the theater would be my guess.

I'm not one of them. The Trek fanbase is very fractured, so that shouldn't be that much of a surprise to anyone. This movie is only going to fracture it further. My sig shows that I care enough about the old franchise to try to make a worthy prequel to it. Why on earth would I be a fan of something that marginalizes something I already like and care about?
I'd actually rather this movie never saw the light of day, but that isn't going to happen. In any case I'd rather see the franchise die for a bit until someone can bring it back in a good way than see yet another frak-up of a film based on the Abrams reboot. So I owe it nothing, and neither does anyone else. Being "mainstream" would be nice, but it's not needed, especially not at the cost of changing so much of it.
It's a sign of an insecure mind to need to be in the majority. I don't need my opinion vindicated by anyone, it's just my opinion and I really can't care any less what anyone else thinks of it. If someone agrees with me, cool, if they disagree, whatever.
I did see both trailers together at a theater, Wolvie was first, then TREK(3rd trailer). And I have to say trek was deffinatly the better trailer!Look, I like the X-Men films, but I've had a bad feeling about Wolverine since the first images and trailers started coming out. A friend of mine has seen the movie already and said it was not that good. I honestly don't know how anyone can be more excited to see that than Star Trek. Put the trailers up next to each other and then ask which one looks better. I hope that Trek does well. I want to see the sequel.
