Who is expecting RPO to flop?

After SXSW Premiere I expect it to be a major hit in the US. It may not be a big success WW though. 

Domestically  it has a projected opening of just $35m, against a rather large $175m production budget, which is more like $400m needed to break even. Going to take both really good legs and a strong foreign box office performance to make it profitable. 

From what I have read, trackers are putting it at $45M-$55M.  Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if it beats those predictions, even if by only a little.  As long as the film isn't bad, I really don't see how it could flop, given the premise and amount of nostalgia involved with the film.  It should definitely be a big hit at the FBO.
