The Expendables topped the box office for a second week in a row dropping 52.6% as it added $16.5m, bringing its domestic total to $64.9m.
The disastrously-reviewed parody Vampires Suck opened on Wednesday and made an estimated $18.5m in 5 days. The duo are not done with, as this was over $4m more than the life-time domestic gross of the last Friedberg/Seltzer trainwreck, Disaster Movie.
Piranha 3D opened to a decent $10m on just a $24m budget, while Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World took a nosedive its second weekend. It doesn’t have the word-of-mouth many were hoping and dropped over 50%, making only $5m.
One of my favorite films of the year, Rob Reiner‘s Flipped is already losing theaters as it just barely crossed over the $500,000 mark. In other limited released, The Tillman Story opened to $52,400 in just 4 theaters, earning the highest PTA amongst all releases.
Check out the Top 10 below.
1. The Expendables – $16.5m; $64.89m
2. Vampires Suck - $12.2m; $18.56m
3. Eat Pray Love – $12m; $47.1m
