The box office has been really hard to predict this year with the exceptions of Iron Man 3 and Man of Steel really. Everyone knew those would make big numbers on opening weekend.

Basically all this "predicted failure" is hogwash. The movie is getting positive reviews, people who are aware of it are spreading the noise, and as said while it may have a weaker opening, word of mouth will deffinitely get more views in the following weeks.
