Star Trek 6 Still Holds A Franchise Record 30 Years Later

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, the sixth Star Trek movie, set a franchise record that still hasn't been beaten over 30 years after the movie's 1991 release. Star Trek – now known as Star Trek: The Original Series – first aired on NBC in 1966 and was only a moderate success. After Star Trek was canceled in season 3, however, the show developed a dedicated fanbase in syndication and became a viable movie franchise after Star Trek: The Motion Picture became a hit. Over the next 57+ years, Star Trek reached many noteworthy milestones, both critically and culturally, but one such achievement has only happened once — and Star Trek VI was the film that did it.
