There was a lot going against this movie from day one so losing $70 million isn't that bad when you consider there's been a lot of bombs this year in Alice Through the Looking Glass, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, The Finest Hours, etc, all lost considerable money. Really I don't understand why studios continue to try and bring back old hits as more than not they bomb. IMO what's really telling is that the movie wasn't terrible yet it still bombed. A lot of these remakes are pretty bad.
