It did better than they're giving it credit for.
But in this society, if a movie doesn't open at over $100 million in three days, now it's considered a flop, and deemed a bad movie. (STID made $80m opening weekend in the US alone).
It opened in the number 1 spot, and was the first movie to knock Ironman off that spot.

Expectations for movies are getting kind of obscene and idiotic. Just like John Carter is now being considered one of the worst movies of all times, because it didn't make much money. The movie itself is being judged by the box office take.

STID has it's issues, but it is not a bad movie. It is not a mediocre movie. It irrittates me that a genuinely respectible opening weekend is now getting it slammed as a bad opening.
