You understand that telling me I don't know anything isn't actually making a point. What possible reason would a TV show be a better comparable for a movie, than another movie? What the **** are you trying to say?

DiCaprio and Pitt took less up front because they received a percentage of the film's gross on the back end, something that none of the agents of the stars of a Star Trek film, especially this particular Star Trek film, would agree to take.

Not my point, does not refute anything I was saying. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood dedicated $20 million from the budget to Pitt and DiCaprio, Chris Pine won't be that expensive in straight dollars. Points on the back end are irrelevant.
When they made the deal for Star Trek Beyond
Pine signed on to do a 4th movie for $6 million. When he
walked away in 2018 it was because Paramount was trying to cut his pay down from that, he wasn't asking for more. There's no reason to think Chris Pine will cost them more than $6 million.

Star Trek Beyond cost $185 million before marketing, so there's no way they're making a Star Trek film in 2021 for less than $150 million.

Why? If it's not a VFX cluster**** then what do they need to spend the money on?

Hell, CBS is spending upwards of $12 million per episode of Discovery!

According to
Variety season 1 was $8.5 million per episode, after budget overruns. And it was a VFX spectacle show. Huge space battles, all kinds of sets, dozens of extras in full-face Klingon makeup and wardrobe.
