The funny thing is, Hollywood may come to the conclusion that there is a direct relationship between how crappy a movie is and how well it does.
Although this is not a set-in-stone relationship (I'm looking at you, Jon Carter); the general rule of thumb is, the crapper a movie is, as determined by RottenTomatoes/MetaCritic, the worse it does over the long run.
And Pacific Rim, by the way, is NOT a flop, at least not yet. It's made $175 million, and it's budget was $180 million.
That $175 million comes from a claim off BoxOfficemojo.com which when looking at the Foreign value of > $110 million doesn't add up in their own listing of totals: http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=intl&id=pacificrim.htm
