Definitely a massive under performance. Disney did not spend $400M-$500M making and marketing this film to finish less than 5% above the spin-off that is RO, actually below it at the DBO. If only those idiots knew if they released just a mere 7 days earlier, they would have made $300M+ more, audience reception be damned. I guess they were afraid of the mighty Jumanji sequel. 
Edit: Interesting read. Especially seeing all of those films whose last film installment outperformed the previous one. The funniest bit, though? LOTR:ROTK only saw 3 extra days in Dec compared to ROS, yet is outperfoming its legs with UNADJUSTED numbers. Adjust them for inflation and its not pretty.
