Why are Birds if Prey's box office numbers getting called "terrible" when it's making similar money to Kingsman which had a higher budget and was considered a surprise success?

Birds of Prey had a $33M opening weekend on an $82M Budget.
Kingsman: The Secret Service had a $36M opening weekend on a $94M budget.

That movie was considered a surprise success -- so much that it spawned an even bigger sequel and franchise. Is Birds of Prey just being labeled a failure because it's doing modest numbers on the tail of Joker's surprise billion?
