The people going in the first week are not going to give a shit wether it gets bad review. In fact, they're probably doing everything they can to not see any reviews at all. The first week is only ever a measure of how effective the movie was advertised. In this case, the movie has been advertised for nearly 16 years. So they didn't actually have to do much to pull people in.

Box office is super useless for determining how good a movie actually is.
