It made like 400 million or something? So anyways, if this film isn't a success in the US, the other countries (especially Japan) won't be as stupid. Actually, pacific rim was the big movie of the year in terms of feedback. And the economy killed most movies getting back what was spent. It wasn't because people were stupid, it was because most people couldn't afford going to the movies. The grown ups crowd are the frat boys who don't care about how much money they spend and the despicable me crowd was for families who were doing well. The pacific rim crowd were for the main stream people who like the action, sci fy, and occasional funny crowd. That is everybody. And since this movie was made for everyone, it did bad in the box office because everyone was doing poor. For once, the exceptional crowd stole the show. No, I don't hate Despicable Me, and the size of the fanbase was like the size of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic's fanbase (bronies). But Pacific Rim's fanbase was bigger that MLP:FiM's fanbase due to many bronies leaving the fanbase due to Twilicorn. Thus, the number of people from the DM and FiM fanbase is about 1,000,000. But, IMO, the people in the 2 fanbases I mentioned is 1,234,900. The crowd of the PR fandom is 4,200,987 IMO, and bigger than the Brony community.
