theaters.īut Star Trek has never been an overseas player. Spectre made so much overseas ($680m) that it would have been the second-biggest 007 film ever even if it had never played in U.S. Now that wasn’t an issue because Sony, MGM and friends knew they could bank on overseas muscle.Īnd, sure enough, Spectre made $880 million worldwide, which is one of the very biggest “non-fantasy” action movies ever behind Furious 7, Skyfall and (if you want to count them) The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. No.Īt $200 million domestic, Spectre was the second-biggest domestic grosser but 14 th out of 25 James Bond movies (yes, counting Never Say Never Again) in terms of inflation. But six of the bottom ten 007 films are Roger Moore movies along with two Timothy Dalton entries, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and series starter Dr. I would argue that The Spy Who Loved Me is perhaps the definitive 007 film. Moore may be a defining Bond for a generation of moviegoers. So, it shouldn’t have been surprising when it ended up just above the various lower-grossing Roger Moore entries in terms of “ tickets sold.” The 25 th 007 film pitched itself as an ode to the Roger Moore era James Bond movies (with late Sean Connery-era Blofeld tossed in for good measure). In that sense, it wasn’t that different from the domestic performance of Sony’s Spectre this time last year. Point being, it was a middle-of-the-road Star Trek, meant to play like the opposite of a “super-duper-important-you-must-see-this-in-a-theater!” blockbuster. That is not a slam, as my favorite of the bunch ( Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) sits in fourth-to-last place ahead of Star Trek Insurrection (another glorified television episode playing out on the big screen) and the justly maligned Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and Star Trek: Nemesis. While that’s the third-biggest domestic gross for a Star Trek movie, it was eighth out of 13 Star Trek feature films when adjusted for inflation. That was well below the $256m of Star Trek in 2009 and the $228m of Star Trek into Darkness in 2013. And to casual moviegoers, it had little to sell beyond “Hey, it’s another one of those newfangled Star Trek movies!”Īs such, even with mostly positive reviews, the film earned $158 million in North American theaters. It was, regardless of where it fits on your “best/worst Star Trek movies” list, an explicitly middle-of-the-road Star Trek film. It presented itself as “just another Star Trek movie,” in an era filled with big-budget sci-fi blockbusters, with less to entice casual moviegoers to make another theatrical go-around. 스타 트랙: 비욘드, Star Trek: Into Oblivion, Star Trek: Beyond, 스타 트렉-비욘드, 스타트렉 비욘드, Star Trek - Beyond, Star Trek Más allá, Star Trek XIII - Beyond, 星际迷航13, 星际迷航3:超越星辰, Star Trek : Au-delà, Star Trek XIII: Más allá, Star Trek - Sans limites, Star Trek 13 - Beyond, Звёздный путь: Бесконечность, 星际迷航13:超越, Star Trek 13 - Beyond (2016), Du Hành Giữa Các Vì Sao 3: Không Giới Hạn, ستار تريك: إلى مابعد, Стар Трек: Отвъд, Star Trek: Més enllà, Star Trek: Do neznáma, Σταρ Τρεκ: Beyond, Star Trek: Más allá, Star Trek Sin Límites, Star Trek tundmatusse, پیشتازان فضا فراتر, Star Trek au-delà, Star Trek : Sans limites, סטארטרק: אל האינסוף, Zvjezdane staze: S one strane, Star Trek: Mindenen túl, スター・トレック BEYOND, 스타 트렉: 비욘드, Žvaigždžių kelias į begalybę, Zvaigžņu ceļš: Bezgalība, Star Trek: W Nieznane, Star Trek: Sem Fronteiras, Star Trek: Além do Universo, Star Trek.Yet, part of the reason that Star Trek Beyond didn’t quite match its predecessors at the domestic box office was because of its comparative ordinariness.
