While they were both also made off a $185 million budget, Star Trek walked away with $385.7 million worldwide, while Into Darkness collected $467.4 million worldwide.
Of the three Star Trek reboot movies, Beyond is the one that performed the worst commercially.
While Beyond did release a teaser trailer in December of 2015, seven months before the movie arrived in theaters, Simon Pegg’s comments to Screen Geek indicate that he was disappointed overall with Paramount’s marketing push for Beyond.
Beyond’s marketing also didn’t play into the fact the movie was being released the same year as the franchise’s 50th anniversary, so maybe that might have helped improve its box office haul.
