Opening on Friday in 3,221 theaters,
The Expendables 3 (Lionsgate), starring returning cast members Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Terry Crews and Arnold Schwarzenegger, joined by Wesley Snipes, Antonio Banderas, Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, Kellan Lutz and Ronda Rousey, wasn't even #1 for Friday with a measly $5.9 million. By Sunday, it had fallen further behind
Let's Be Cops to bring in about $16.2 million for the weekend.
By comparison, the original "Expendables" opened with $34.8 million on the same weekend four years ago on its way to $274 million worldwide, while its sequel
The Expendables 2 opened with $29 million on its way to $300 million worldwide. In theory, the third movie could still do well worldwide, but it's unlikely to gross more than $50 million domestically. Many will likely credit the movies failure to the millions who watched the movie via an illegal download which leaked two weeks before the movie's theatrical release.
Not surprisingly, the audience for the third movie was 61% male and 66% over the age of 25, although the movie received an A- CinemaScore by those who went out to see it this weekend, meaning the audience generally liked it.
