Spoilers STAR TREK BEYOND

Yep.
How many more movies do we reckon they have in them? TOS cast did six in twelve years, TNG managed four in eight years. It's been seven years since the reboot and we've had three movies, with a possible fourth in what, 2-3 years?
What's the likelihood that 4 will be the last, and where do we go then? Stay in Kelvinverse and do nuTNG, follow another crew (adventures of the Enterprise-B anyone?), or reboot again?

I suspect that the film series will change direction after the fourth movie. To reboot and recast a big movie franchise after a few films is pretty common now, and Star Trek will have been going for close to a decade when Star Trek 4 is released.
Fox's X-Men movies are probably a good parallel here - some more successful, some a good deal less, setting and characters reconfigured from film to film and only one actor still playing the part they played in the first.
My guess would be that they'll try to carry Quinto into some sort of offshoot story for the reboot. Expect time travel, possibly as a way to involve Picard or some assortment of characters from TNG (anyone other than Picard will be recast).
Or...maybe CBS can license the property to Warner Bros or something for Star Trek 5.

I don't see the reboot actors doing another movie after 4 if it is produced, unless they feel the need to fatten their bank accounts/alimoney cheques cos their careers are slowing down. Most of them will be in their 40's and looking 40 today is not the same as looking 40 when TMP was released and those actors were in their 50's. I hope they reboot the franchise on TV with a new cast and the occassional movie.
Maybe they can cast Brad Pitt as a future Captain Robert April. He might need the money for the next future ex wife.
They should close the loop. Have Sisko turn up in their version of ST5 and bring a few bods back to prime in time for 24 th century post nemesis XD on TV of course.
Did someone say "new direction for the movie franchise"?

(I suspect Evans was thinking of Edison/Krall's MACO backstory fighting in the Romulan wars when he said that)

Star Trek Seals will be a novel instead like the Section 31 stories - my prediction lol
Domestically STB will be doing less than $100k weekdays and will be in the $700-800k range for the entire week. In China it is doing $200-300k weekdays but will lose even more screens on Thursday. It will be down to something like 2% screen total after today. I expect it to finish its run at $66 million (+/- $300k). I think we'll see a WW increase of $2-3 million this week and about $1-2 mil the week after.
Domestic will see a slight bump when it hits the dollar theaters that I believe will finally push it past the $160 million mark but not too much past it. Overseas it will just be getting a trickle here or there until Japan, especially now that China is wrapping up. Hollywood movies don't play in China for very long. They have a short window to make their money. STB will have improved $8-9 million in China over STID. While disappointing and I was expecting a bigger increase, at least it didn't drop as it did in most countries.
The Star Trek franchise has always done very well in the secondary market due to Home Video sales. I expect it to do brisk sales there (not compared to previous installments but compared to other movies in the current market). That should be enough to justify another film. Revenue from home video used to be so strong that it could greenlight a sequel itself even with a movie that had mediocre box office results. The market has dropped a lot from those days but digital downloads and DVD/BlueRay are still popular with ST fans so it gives the series an advantage compared to its peers.
I'd say chances of a sequel are 70% with around $40-50 million in HV sales. If it does better those odds go up.
Seal Team 6 is probably a good bet. I also think Paramount might consider a version(Kelvin?) of Star Trek Online's timeline for a 2nd reboots series. Why? because it covers all the bases of the post Romulus/Vulcan destruction (wow what an unlucky race). It won't necessarily be a "war movie" but the conflict of the period might be a backdrop. Think intrigue, secret agents, commandos.
On the BO front, no more updates, but after doing a little math, and using some conservative estimates, it looks like the worldwide box office might amount to $3-3.5 million this week ($3.150 million is what I came up with). Putting Beyond at $$337.7 million tops. It'll have a little over 3 weeks to make $2-3 million to hit $340 million by the time it opens in Japan. By that time it'll be making around $500,000 a week WW with probably a bump for secondary/bargain theaters in the US. STID and ST09 had their bump in the 12-20 week range, but Beyond may have it sooner (10th week). STID's bump brought in an extra $1 million one weekend but $400-500,000 may be more likely.

It's still playing at the local 15/70 ("True" IMAX) venue. Rather puzzling as the latest Eastwood film, shot almost exclusively with IMAX cameras, and getting good reviews, is only showing in the smaller IMAX venues. Oh well. Montreal has always been a quirky movie market.
If there is to be a sequel, I bet it will be full of surprises.
Except for the part where they will show the 1701-A get destroyed in the trailer.
That means that the next one will be the B and we'll get to see the nexus again! Yay!
