is there a spoiler alert with this.

I do not want to see more than is on the current US trailers.

it ticks me off that Star Trek an American show (yes we all know it embraces multi culturalism) opens first in Australia and Europe. what’s with that?

It’s been going that way for years. The late great actor Ron Silver, self described liberal who was mugged on 9/11, was on Book TV a few years ago and told us why. Hollywood’s priorities aren’t the US box office anymore. It’s now foreign releases and DVD sales. Also what drove all of the anti American films for the past few years.

Unfortunately it comes down to economics, and it's going to continue to get worse. Check out some the film revenue sites like boxofficemojo, films these days make far, far more (sometimes as much as 5 times) outside the US than they do inside. So, in response, Hollywood is catering to a non-US audience more and more.

Iron Man 3 also — already grossed $250M overseas.

Look at 'Iron Man 3'...$300 million in overseas box office BEFOREit opened in America. Disney/Marvel panders to Chinese investors by altering the character of Iron Man mega-villain 'Mardarin'; which has die-hard fan boys spitting blood. Remember early Iron Man comics when he took on the 'red menace'? Ah; the good 'ol days...
