People were ready to call it a flop even before it was released. The hatred it has received is insane.
The movie neither flopped nor bombed. It underperformed and worst case scenario Sony will lose some, but much money because of it. Look at the other movies it's released lately and how badly they've done. This one did better, just not good enough to be a success.

Please explain to me how a movie making the company lose money isn't a flop or bomb....

Then you must be listening to people who haven't seen it or went with a mindset that they would hate it. The people who have actually seen it (and we have quite a few of those here) said it's decent (6-7). The critics agree.

Guess Angry Joe haven't watch it. (A single example. Great. That sure disproves my point)

Look up any lists with movies that flopped. It's not movies that simply didn't break even, but movies that did so badly that there were no plans for a sequel and cost the studio a ton of money. This is not case here.
But if it makes you feel better calling it a flop/bomb, by all means, do so. Not gonna stop you.
