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.

Oh, it flopped.  Badly.  Not the worst it could have flopped, but it'll lose Sony quite a bit of money.  

 

And, uh, you might want to look at something like Pixels box office, again.  Not only did it make $245M WW, which is much more than this will make, it did it on an $88M budget.  So, it actually turned a profit for them.  And even more so when home video is taken into account.
