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.
