To be expected. Its lower than I predicted though and will definitely make less money than Astro Boy in the US. Your looking at $14 - $18 million at most. 

Not necessarily. A movie like this (low budget) can break even by just about hitting whatever the budget was. Tax breaks were also probably used (BC)

Plus, the movie's actors were paid peanuts (Sly got around $10k albiet certain other favours being made by Sony to him) and there is abolutely no chance of residuals costing Sony anything.  Also Marketing budget, non existant. 

I'm not sure about there being no marketing budget: just saw a R&C commercial on television for example.

Marketing budget may be in the production budget. They should have been in festivals to rack up more viewer interest. Perhaps the film was whack. It is very painful considering the amount of time the artists have spent to make it possible.
