Right, because what they are saying as a whole is that an opening weekend of $16 mil isnt very good.

he compares it to last year, Vin Diesel opening at $30 mil.. THAT would have been good.
It comes back to the box office slump and that they are still in, and that they really wanted Disney to have a BIG hit.

*office crisis.. brb*
