With second week numbers in (source: box office mojo), SHT Z has done ¥618,762,056 overall. At least, now it's beating the second weeks of Fourze's summer movie (¥ 593,455,049 ) and Ultimatum(¥536,548,956 ), but it's still significantly behind the first SHT (¥ 718,074,386). The numbers don't look nearly as bad as the first weekend's seemed to be, although they aren't really high compared if compared to anything before the last two Rider movies.
Still, considering the smaller numbers of suits and also the way they're only really featuring the cast of the current Rider series, I guess they weren't really expecting it to beat the original SHT. Or at least they shouldn't.
In my last rewatch of Black RX, I noticed something that really irked me and I had never thought about it before.
When Granzairas is ripping through the Japanese defense force and destroying a city, Kotaro wants to go stop it, even wounded, but Rider 1 says that he should stay there and they needed to wait more, because it's obviously a trap. Kotaro then gives a big speech about how he can't stand still while people are being killed, so he'll fight, even knowing that it's a trap. Only after hearing that speech the other Riders decide to go.
It was a single monster, and they were about to let it just rampage around, and had to learn a "lesson" from Kotaro. When you add how the Riders completely failed every time they attempted to face named RX characters, even resurrected monsters, the script writer of RX really comes off like someone who hated the idea of adding them there and wanted to do his best to show how RX was better than the past Riders in every way.

When this sort of thing happens, I always conclude that they were testing the newest Rider to see if he's got what it takes. Although, they could have handled them a lot better, yeah.
I wouldn't say the writer was trying to make them look bad, I'd say it's a combination of mishandling them and BLACK RX getting the spotlight due to being the current Rider and protagonist.
