Money, did it make any
Did this movie make money?
shareIt had a sequel, so made money it must have.
shareIt did ~$218m worldwide. It performed relatively poorly in the domestic market ($80m), but that was due in part to a studio delay of the premiere and advertising because of the Sandy Hook shooting. Since it was relatively well-made, it performed reasonably well in the post-theatrical market. Box Office Mojo reports the budget was $60m, so a sequel made sense. The sequel, however, sucked, and a franchise is only as good as the last movie.
