This is still a long shot possibility, as it is opening stronger in most international markets than 2009, but not as strong as hoped. It will probably hit 200 internationally.
I haven't found if the 3d conversion is in the 190m total budget, nor have I seen the 3d tally for opening weekend. That conversion was expensive if it is additional investment.
It is not a flop, but it is not going to spawn another massive budget.
