I just don't see where a gap in filming had a relationship with ENT or TOS being cancelled.
Ok, my initial point was they were was no real gap in filming. Delays yes but nothing really that severe. There was less than 5 years between Nemesis in theaters and Abrams getting signed on to produce the 11th film. That's peanuts compared to the wait between Star Wars films, and some of the Bond films, not to even mention Avatar. Less than the delay we are looking at now, assuming there is ever another star trek film made specifically for cinemas.
Frakes on the potential 3 films

Noah Hawley news... sort of...
Collider did an interview with him. One of the questions was "Does he think a Star Trek film can happen with how many Trek series currently on TV?" He gave a perfectly reasonable answer.
They also talked about the feasibility of a low-budget Star Trek movie. His answer was pretty much what I think too, that studios aren't in that kind of business.
Here's the interview (the Star Trek stuff comes in at about 4:20):
With Paramount+ wanting to do, I believe, 52 movies a year, then there's where any new Star Trek movies would likely end up. I would think, at least. Unless they can find a script that they think will make a billion dollars. Otherwise, why bother with the theater...

Engage, retreat. Engage, retreat...
Unless Covid-19 is defeated (and so far we're adapting and not taking the steps to stop it), movie industry's dead and just doesn't know it yet.

If the current situation continues for any length of time the future will be streaming, it wont be long before the big film makers realise which way the wind is blowing.
Many households now have big screens (50" +) of their own so the whole draw of a trip to the cinema is not what it once was.
Add the never ending rise in cost of tickets and snacks and its no surprise really, same goes for the pub industry here in the UK, you can go into a Supermarket and pick up a crate or bottle of whatever you fancy for £10-£15 that will last a group of people all night, that will only buy you 3 or 4 pints in the pub, the current situation hasn't really caused any damage in and of itself yet its just speeded up what was already underway.
Same goes for the retail industry, it was already in trouble long before.
Cinemas, Pubs and Retail sector will never die out completely but they are ripe for a thinning of the herd.

Sad thing is, you go to a theater or a pub for its "atmosphere". A nice dark escape from the world outside, and most people have been stuck at home for so long, it's a simple change of venue for a couple of hours. Yes, the snacks and drinks are horrendously priced (a universal constant for probably 30+ years now), but it's not for economy that people choose to go to the movies or have a pint. It will be sad to see many of them disappear, not to mention the inevitable loss of jobs associated with it.
I go occasionally. I'm more sad about the economic impact than any particular personal interest.
When I was single (admittedly, over 20 years ago), I went to the cinema 3-5 times a week (I lived in downtown Montreal, cinemas were/are everywhere in the downtown core, I lived in a tiny studio apartment with a 13" TV, no cable). Now, pre-pandemic, I'm down to about a dozen a year (and half of those are with one or both of my kids, which skews the type of films I see at the cinema). Since pandemic--one. I chanced Tenet at the downtown full IMAX cinema. But I couldn't do that today--we're in a red zone in the Greater Montreal area (I now live in a suburb of the city), so no cinema houses at all.
I love the cinema (the giant screen, the totally dark room, the aesthetic of an image projected on a screen rather than an emissive display, etc.). But in the past decade and a half (since we bought our house), I've steadily diminished my time in cinemas while replicating one in my house on a tiny scale (dedicated home cinema room with a projector, multi-channel audio system that's better than any non-IMAX cinema in my area for sound quality, completely darkened room--just missing the overpriced popcorn, though I make due with a reasonably priced alternative
). I still wish (pandemic or no) I had time to go more often, but I'm well-equipped to make do without a cinema if it comes down to it. I just won't feel celebratory about it as some commentators increasingly appear to.
Exactly. We went out a couple of Fridays ago to return something we'd received in the mail. Next door to the place we made the return was a restaurant with a bunch of outdoor seating, so we ended up staying for dinner and as we were sitting there my wife and I both were like, "It's really nice to go out and eat for a change."
