Rick Berman Doesn't Know Why Nemesis Tanked

Posted by Hemos on from the well-'cuz-it-sucked-for-one dept.

Steve Krutzler writes "Star Trek producer Rick Berman broke his silence today on the debacle that was the North American box office for STAR TREK NEMESIS. The film grossed $18.5 million in its opening weekend in mid-December, the lowest of any TREK bow, and its current domestic total stands below even that of the much-lambasted STAR TREK V. Read more at TrekWeb. Berman says he doesn't know why the movie failed and the future of more TREK movies is uncertain."

    Sorry, make that TOWERS.

    There is only so much of the Geek Movie Dollar(tm) to go around, especially to be spent at the theatre itself. Going up against LotR 2T was just too much of a challenge.

    It was also a very competitive holiday movie market for sequels in general with Harry Potter and James Bond also releasing new franchise entries.
