The first theatrical Star Trek movie was only considered a failure at the box office because it didn't make nearly enough money to cover its budget or make profit. It did, however, have good ticket sales, which is why Paramount didn't drop the franchise completely at that point. If I recall correctly, in his first meetings with the studio regarding Star Trek, the first question a studio exec asked Harve Bennett was if he could "make a Star Trek movie for less than XXX million f****** dollars?"
The same could very well be true in this case. You people who watched it and hated it? You watched it. I'm hoping that they look at viewing numbers and say, "well, if we can make for one of these things for less than XXX million f****** dollars..." Not having to pay Michelle Yeoh the salary that she commands at this point would be a start.
