Just like Nemesis right? I saw lots of casual fans wanting to go see that movie. If Trekkies don't like Trek, I can tell you that casual fans will not either. Especially if Trekkies are starting to look for other things to do than watch Star Trek.

I submit that it's the other way around. Casual fans have fewer reasons to be disenchanted, because they don't care (not as much as diehards might, anyway) about frivolous extraneous details. There's simply less to detriment their enjoyment.
Mind you, Nemesis suffers from flaws that are hard to overlook no matter which camp you're in, but Trekkie audiences are, on the whole, more attentive to them.

The only problem there is the opening day, word of mouth. If Trekies don't like the film, and that is the opinion spread around during opening weekend, then it could affect the casual veiwer ticket sales.
I didn't go because I didn't like Insurrection. I'm tired of wasting money for films I don't like. I will probably rent it when it comes out, since it's less then the price of a ticket, and dinner out and popcorn and soda...
