I'm sad, it looks like Star Trek doesn't have viewing power anymore. I hope this doesn't scare off more movies.

It will still make back it's money in the United States alone, overseas will give it the rest. Should be no problem. There was  a lotof special effects in this one, so the budget was a bit higher, and I am sure the actors wanted more. Even though none of them are really that big of stars without star trek. Judge Dredd was not that big of movie.

 

So there should be more.

That is very, very unlikely. At the very best the studios could get 55% of profits from screening. In order to clear cost in America alone, they could have to make double the budget, which is - with marketing - at least over 200 million 

Star trek 2 had a bigger marketing budget and more 3d screenings to up it's profits against the first one. It not doing that well for all that investment.
