Could Star Trek XI be the first successful...

[darkshadow0001]

odd numbered Star Trek film? I think it's a possibility. Although I'm not in favor of re-casting or rebooting, but with all the hype I think it could still be the most-successful Trek film to-date.

I hadn't thought about that... :-S

Odd/Even was created so Trekkers didn;t look like morons for supporting Trek films.

I hope they skip unlucky Star Trek:XIII, like an elevator in a big hotel.

Well actually Star Trek the Motion Picture is current most successful Trek movie ever at the box office(worldwide gross circa: 350 million adjusted for inflation). So your logic isn't quite accurate.
Also if XI movie duplicate smilier success, it would mean the 2 biggest Trek film at box office will be odd numbered movies.

I dont always concider making the most money to necesarrily mean the most successful. One can make a lot of money with a really crappy movie if he played his cards right.

I take it you consider TMP to be "a really crappy movie" then? I think it's the best of the bunch in many ways, myself.

 

[Son_of_Soong]

Nah far from it. It will always be a great movie, I just find it too slow moving.

 

[Kinnison]

Well, that's alright then!

I meant more or less fan favorite, rather then how much it makes. Although TMP is the most successful money wise, you don't hear to many people talk about TMP much...

Well, Nemesis was the first even numbered flop.

Fate should deem this to be the first odd numbered box office hit. Well, one would hope.

You're just tempting fate. And The God Thing. Hush up.

TMP has quite a respectable fan following on this board; its status as a poor movie is far from undisputed (I'd dispute it myself, for the record).

If Reagan can break the Zero Curse, then NEM probably broke the Even/Odd Curse, provided curses are to be believed in.

You're right but TGT seldom frequents this forum..so we are safe (for now)

Star Trek TMP and TSFS were both quite successful at the box office if thats what you mean.

 

[Cyrus]

The first successful odd number Trek movie was TMP.

Hey goldbug, I like your avatar... I still actually have that game in 3 1/2" floppy format somewhere I forgotten about it until I saw that.

I realize that, and as a Star Trek fan, I really like TMP. It's just that for non-Star Trek fans, I don't know if there are too many who say "TMP was awesome"... I personnally enjoy watching TMP every now and then.

 

[Son_of_Soong]

I liked Nemesis.

Generally speaking, the odd/even number curse has to do with the popularity of the movie, not the amount of money it made.

For the most part, people consider the even numbered Trek films better than the odd numbered films.
