Paramount outs plans for Star Trek 4

The Star Trek film franchise died a few years ago and the announcement for Star Trek 4 was unexpected.
Paramount’s most recent run of Star Trek films was a financial failure. The movies are blockbusters. They cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make but they rarely turn a profit. Consider J.J. Abrams’ 2009 reboot. It made $387m on a budget of $150m. That is not a lot when you consider the cost of marketing and the fact that only a fraction of that went back to the studio.
