The Expendables leads the friday box office

[acealive1]

It seems The Expendables is going to take the weekend box-office crown, but by how much and with how much? On Friday the Sylvester Stallone actioner tallied an estimated $13.5 million at the box-office, but I have to assume it will be sliding on Saturday and Sunday. Yet, this means it will still be making over $30 million and I'd say likely in the $33 million range. As for its competition? Well, it blew it away...

Wait for Sunday. Saturday is still too early to call it. I imagine Scott Pilgrim won't be too far behind..

[acealive1]

I imagine Scott Pilgrim won't be too far behind.. 4th place and only 4.5 million.......

[bassman]

4th place and only 4.5 million....... Once again....Sa-tur-day. Im interested in both films, but rating them this way is silly...

[acealive1]

Once again....Sa-tur-day. Im interested in both films, but rating them this way is silly... by my estimate, scott pilgrim is gonna have to have a 1,000% gain to beat the expendables.

Once again....Sa-tur-day. Im interested in both films, but rating them this way is silly... I thought you weren't a Cera fan?

[bassman]

Regardless of your estimate......wtf is the point??? Money means jack shit when it comes to the quality of a film. Twilight makes billions and it hardly has a plot...

I don't give a shit about the money; I still want to see this movie. Even if it didn't draw a dime.

I predict a noticeable drop-off in returns for The Expendables in the next week or so. Many of the reviews suggest that it's run-of-the-mill. I'm surprised Scott Pilgrim didn't do better. They ran the trailers for it every 47 seconds on TV. I didn't realize how hot Mary Winstead's eyes are.

LOS ANGELES - Sylvester Stallone has proven that he's not quite expendable yet at the box office. Stallone and his pumped-up pals lifted the 1980s-style action romp "The Expendables" to a No. 1 debut with $35 million. The movie features such action stars as Jet Li and Jason Statham — along with cameos from Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger — in a tale of mercenaries aiming to overthrow a dictator. While the macho "Expendables" lured male audiences, Julia Roberts delivered a crowd-pleaser for women with "Eat Pray Love," which opened at No. 2 with $23.7 million. Adapted from Elizabeth Gilbert's best-selling memoir, the movie stars Roberts as a woman traveling the world in search of enlightenment after her divorce.

They ran the trailers for it every 47 seconds on TV. I didn't realize how hot Mary Winstead's eyes are. almost every major city in the us did a free early showing and the worldwide marketing was over-saturation bordering on a farce. Hell, ive been a fan from book one six years ago and im an admin on the official forum, even im sick of hearing about it and i've yet to see it.

Almost unbelievable how badly Scott Pilgrim bombed.

Almost unbelievable how badly Scott Pilgrim bombed. its proof people put too much stock in cera against a big movie like the expendables. one weekend later and he'd be at #1
