I don't believe Kick-Ass was a box-office disappointment, but I may be confusing that term with flop. It just didn't do great. Did better than it cost to make, although probably broke even when you consider advertising.

Yeah, once you include non-US earnings it probably broke even.

I don't believe Kick-Ass was a box-office disappointment.

This is because you are (clearly) a rational human being, and not the sort of crazy person to whom opening weekend box-office figures are the most important thing ever. Sadly, most of Hollywood falls into the latter category, along with most of Hollywood watchers. Which is why Kick-Ass is 'widely regarded' as a box office disappointment. Because, by that narrow criteria, it was.

Hollywood logic. Go figure.
