Reports I see say: The studio was going to consider it a success if it did better than $40 million opening weekend (1/3 budget), and it did $46, coming in second to Secret life of Pets. Haters are trying to spin only $46 million and second place as utter failure (I've seen other articles pointing out the same thing happens with all Melissa McCarthy's hits, which are all her films), but it's the biggest opening weekend ever for anyone involved including Andy Garcia who was in Ocean 's Eleven.
