Maybe cover-stories like in the German Cinema-magazine 'Comeback des Jahres' (Comeback of the Year) will help with that - here at least
I'm glad there's a May 2009 opening.

Damn...They should really stop airbrushing pictures of Quinto-Spock to death.
$100 would be a HUGE failure.
I'm concerned about this film's reception. Very concerned. Still, if Batman managed to come back from 1997's 'Batman and Robin', then surely Trek can.
God, let's hope they market the hell out of this thing. Over here where I am in Australia, I've not seen any publicity for Trek XI at all, really. Not a single trailer or poster in movie houses.

Yeah.
One of the black-and-with posters of Quinto-Spock is on display in the gym I go to.
Obviously Trek isn't seen as too geeky by the gym-staff to advertise it to the gym-going type
I was pretty disappointed when they pushed back the release date, but ultimately I think Paramount made the right decision in doing so. They are able to spend more time promoting the movie to the masses.
I think it bodes well also that Paramount thinks this movie can contend against other big name movies that start showing in May/June.

With Wolverine, one week before it and Terminator one week after it...I think Star Trek is in big trouble. Worldwide results should not be affected too much but US will be and it will struggle to make the $300 million that Paramount seems they want.
American movie goers only see one blockbuster movie per season?
A lot of Americans have given up entirely on seeing movies in theaters altogether. They put together kick-ass home theater systems and just Netflix everything. Beats getting a babysitter/finding parking/paying $20 for something that could very well suck.
My Netflix list is about 170 titles (down from 200+ at its peak, but I burned thru a lot during the writer's strike), while I've seen two whole movies in the theater in 2008 - WALL*E and The Fall - and the latter only because it was so obscure, I wasn't certain there would ever be a DVD release.
Teenage boys and girls still go to theaters. That's why everything's geared to their tastes.
If you're conscientious about returning Netflix DVDs promptly, you can average $1.50 per rental. So $1.50 vs $50, wow, there's a tough choice. That has to be one hell of an amazing visual spectacle of a movie to be worth the difference. Even one a year (WALL*E being a good example) is as much as you can expect.
Matinee is how I saw WALL*E and The Fall, but it still cost more than a buck-fifty.
How much are Costco tix?However, rest assured that Trek XI will be a theater experience for me.
Possibly the sole one of 2009.GAH! If Trek XI is as bad as Speed Racer, it deserves to tank. But there's no way it could be that bad...right?
Ugh, they used the creepy plastic-mannequin photo style! Why do people like that? They freak me out!
Someone hunt them down and burn them! They'll give people the notion that the movie is using some off-putting creeptastic style of CGI animation. Paramount should never have permitted photos like that to get out.
You should start seeing the marketing hit in a couple months - if not, then get worried. But there's no sense in them jumping the gun and wasting their ad dollars.
