Overseas earnings rarely play into the reasoning behind producing and funding a Hollywood movie. Banking on non-Americans to get behind American films and concepts, especially in the wake of a non-movie star type of film such as Star Trek, is not the type of gamble that studios and producers like to make.

Do you think the industry could begin to see a shift in that direction, though? Given Spielberg and Lucas's recent thoughts on an "implosion" and some sort of coming change/adaptation to the model.
Is this something you could ever see happening?
