No, but personal opinion clearly varies but success of the film is a fact. Now do you get it ?
But what does success of a film have to do with its quality? Afterall, someone said they thought it was better than the Avengers at which point you claimed it has no reason to not outperform it then.

This is true but unfortunately films are no different from music now in that regard. Justin Bieber sells 10s of millions of albums while genuinely talented musicians have a small but dedicated fan base and don't make anywhere near as much money. It doesn't equate that Bieber's music is superior.
There's also the fact that with films it doesn't matter how many trailers you've seen and made you want to see it, you can still come out of the cinema not liking the film but by that point they've already made their money from you. It also works the opposite way. The trailer for Cabin in the Woods made it look like a very cliched horror movie when it was anything but. It didn't take a colossal amount of money but was a far better film than almost anything else that year. It was my favourite film of last year followed by Seven Psychopaths which both made a fraction of my next 2 films which were Avengers and TDKR.
So I don't think either are a perfect way to judge how 'good' a film is. Imagine if a trailer made a film look brilliant and on the basis of that st made hundreds of millions at the box office yet not a single person liked it. Would it still be a 'good' film? Obviously an unlikely scenario but it highlights my point via money generated isn't a good indication of whether a film is any good or not.
