Did the movie do as well as expected?

$353.5 million for a budget of $125 million is not bad, not bad at all, but was the success Paramount had hoped for? It still made enough to warrant a sequel to be sure but look at the competition this year.

Guardians of the Galaxy, $687.6 million on a $170 million budget.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2, $709 million on a $200 million budget.
X-Men: Days of Future Past, $746 million on a $200 million budget.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier, $714.1 million on a $170 million budget.
Transformers: Age of Extinction, $1.08 BILLION on a $210 million budget.

Again, the movie was hardly a failure, but do you think the studio got what they were hoping for?
