I think the problem with BoP-HQ is a combination of the R-rating which keeps the kids away, the all-female cast which is going to keep a lot of guys away, and the hyperviolence which women don't really flock to the theater to see.
It's kind of a recipe on how to construct a NO-Quadrant movie.
If this weren't a CBM, I wouldn't have bothered to see it.
Unfortunately, I do feel this movie will struggle to reach $100 million domestically, and may not even do that.
