Goes on to become a fan favorite like Pacific rim, where you may get a lower budget sequel sometime down the road.It's absolutely accurate. We have the numbers.Doing ok/fair/average would require it to actually make money.Did it outright bomb like Shazam 2 ?No.But it also came only halfway to breaking even at the box office. It Flopped.There's just no way to spin that as a positive box office performance.</blockquote>
