Everyone, including the writers and producers say that Star Trek is still JJ's baby even when he's doing Star Wars. Plus Paramount has hired Roberto "enough crack smoking" Orci and Alex Kurtzman to write for the series again. Orci even said “Star Trek has called me, and I’m going to serve” like he's doing the franchise as a whole a big favor, even though all he's done is help write two movies a lot of time indulging on things that came before it instead of telling a coherent story.
So, then Star Trek is doomed? With JJ running things, the next Trek movie may by the end for the film franchise. It's really never been much of a film series anyway, very uneven, and I think that's mostly because the concept started out as a TV series and that's where it belongs. You know, I often hear that NBC is the network that's most endangered with extinction and the question, "What can it do to save itself?" And, I think, "Why don't they just bring back 'Star Trek' and correct a mistake they made 44 years ago?" It's not exactly rocket science, and could a network Star Trek show in the modern era of some really great shows be any worse than ST:INTO DARKNESS? It could probably be a lot better, though probably better on HBO than NBC.

Uh, no, that is not correct.
The second one made a lot more. Much of it from overseas.

True, but the overseas market more than made up for it.
In the end Paramount is very happy, the overseas take is bigger than any other Trek, and they are making another one. These days big budget pictures are all about recouping costs outside the US. The US alone cannot get these pictures into profit.

ST 2009
257 million
