Do you actually mean that the fact that ROBOCOP was an economic success alters the ideological content of the film. Would it have been considered an "anticorporate, anticapitalist film" if it failed at the box office? In my view, ROBOCOP is by far the most interesting action film when it comes to the portrayal of the conseqences of the neo-libertarianism.
