IF the film doesn't make its money back theatrically, it most probably will with DVD/Blu-ray sales/rentals. And if the latter turns out to be the case, it would hardly be the first or last film to become a financial success thanks to DVD/Blu-ray.
Also, who knows what the budget was? The Hollywood Reporter has said $100 million, Variety has said $125 million, and places like Box Office Mojo have said $150-$175 million. Obviously they can't all be correct...
