That's actually not too bad and. As soon as it was announced you got the feeling this was not going to end well for Sony. It's an old movie that a few generations never saw or will get. All female main cast for a large budget movie is a huge crapshoot as well as a major departure from the original. 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.
