Wrong.
You clearly know nothing about the difference between Feature Film set and TV sets. And The Mandalorian didn't have to do much marketing because Star Wars has a massive built in audience.

Good god, no.
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.
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. Hell, CBS is spending upwards of $12 million per episode of Discovery!
Your Hollywood takes are just completely awful.
