A box office bomb is a film that doesn't make back its own budget. This movie made back double its budget in the US and is also doing well internationally.
Deleted line(s) 1 (click to see context) :
* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget: $30 million. Box office (domestic): $55 million as of September 2017. The movie made #1 on its launch day in the US, but since it had the misfortune of being launched during the nasty Hurricane Harvey disaster in Texas ''and'' simultaneously to a much-anticipated boxing match, it currently ranks fairly high in the top ten of the lowest-grossing #1 movies of the past 20 years.
