Dude...I don't know where you get your ideas on how a movie is going to do at the box office. But you are way off about them "taking a bath"

They are making money hand over fist with this series of movies. And they will again. Doesn't matter what you think or movie critics think. This movie is gonna be number one whether it sucks or doesn't suck.

We all like to cheer for our heroes from our childhood.

That is the draw of the movie. Nobody expects it to win an Academy Award or anything. heh-heh
With $100 million budget on each movie, that revenue doesn't count as "hand over fist". It's around breaking evening when you count in marketing and distribution costs. Even though there's a worldwide gross, the main number that's counted is the domestic gross -- and they didn't do too well in that area.

By the way, I love these movies and will be there opening weekend.
