Yup, I still feel like we were cheated out of The Rocketeer sequels because nobody came to see the film at the time.

I feel the same way about Star Trek Beyond. :(

I think it makes sense to want a film you enjoy to succeed, especially if it's one that can spawn other adventures. While all of us wanted good Star Trek movies, I'm pretty sure a lot of fans were hoping they would be financial successes enough to get more, no?

Exactly.
 
If there's not the chance for more, then usually, I don't see what the point is, especially with how much of a movie is setting the stage for the (future) stories and characters. Very few movies are designed to be stand alone these days.

I care about the box office to the extent that I want good (IMO) movies about them to do well as it's the only real incentive for the studios to make more good (IMO) movies about them for me to enjoy.

...and that is how the film business works, especially with high-value IPs such as superheroes.There is no intent to make standalone films with IPs where its nature (and native format) is about cranking out series and spin-offs until sales fall, then its reboot, rinse and repeat.
 
Given the track record of Star Wars fans who post trailer reviews while wearing hardcore SW shirts and still defecate all over the trailer and what's in the new film or TV show, anything's possible. :lol:
