The Pattern Of 9 Says Trek XI Will Fail

Star Trek XI will be released in 2009. Let's take a look at other Trek movies released in years that ended in 9. Star Trek The Motion Picture, released in 1979. Though a financial success, it was a critical failure and remains to this day one of the more unpopular Trek movies with very few supporters. Then there's Star Trek V The Final Frontier, released in 1989. A financial and critical failure with even less supporters than TMP. This is the Pattern of 9, any Trek movie released in a year ending with 9 is doomed to fail. Hell, years ending with 9 aren't good for any movie with the word Star in its title. 1999 didn't have a Trek movie. It did however, have a Star Wars movie, Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace, which is quite possibly one of least popular Star Wars movies. And what do you know, Star Trek XI will be released in 2009. A year ending with 9. Therefore the Pattern of 9 is establised that Star Trek XI will fail. It has to fail. There's no other way of looking at it.

Also, let's take a moment to abbreviate these years to their last two digits. TMP in 79, TFF in 89, SWTPM in 99, and Trek XI in 09. How fitting that this movie be released in a year that abbreviated begins with a zero, given the love affair with the number zero that Abrams and his cohorts seem to have. I'm looking at the direction of the USS Kelvin's registry.

That's why the film was originally slated for Christmas '08, to confuse the movie spirits. It's like in DRAGON when Bruce Lee's dad dressed him in girls clothes as a child. It's all about confusing the spirits.

...and then later, choking them to death with nunchucks.
 
My reply, in German, to this theroy: nine!

Since past performance is apparently a solid indicator of future performance, I've decided to crunch some numbers.

Star Trek (2009) will be the fourth Trek film released during the summer. I took the combined domestic gross of the previous three releases (TWOK, TSFS, and TFF) and divided them by their combined production budget. I calculated the average rate of return on a summer Trek movie to be 3.72. With an estimated production budget of $150 million, the summer ROR pattern indicates the new movie will gross over $550 million in the US.

Not valid, unless you just want to count TFF. By the late 80s, Trek could not compete in the summer market (which is probably why ST 5 was originally supposed to be a winter 88, if they hadn't had delays with respect to script and signing actors and such.) Trek and Bond both tanked domestically in summer 89, and that's why there haven't been trek or bond pics in summer at any time since (and that is a lot of winter bondflicks, 6 in all, along with 5 treks.)
 
It adds up to 19. That is the number of doom. It also happens to end on nine.

Ask Roland Deschain.

That's it, I am now convinced that Star Trek XI and The Dark Tower are connected.

And Bob's your uncle!

It is just as valid as the OP's theory.

Which was my point. ;)
 
"How to the nines they did content me."

Patterns can be broken. Example: "even number Trek films always succeed".
