Sylvester Stallone and his Expendables brigade have seen off competition with no less that five new movies at the box-office this weekend. The Expendables added another $16.5 million over the three days. Vampires Suck, the parody movie, sucked the most out of the five new movies with a $12.2 million haul. from 3,233 locations. Eat, Pray, Love scored again in its second week out there with another $12 million, dropping just the one spot on the top ten to number three. Warner Bros. Pictures’ Lottery Ticket made $11.2 million bagging the fourth spot, while the comedy The Other Guys rounded off the top five with $10.1 million, taking its total three week haul to a touch over $88 million.
Onto those other new releases. Piranha 3D, despite getting some pretty decent ‘fun’ reviews only secured the number six spot with a tad over $10 million in takings, while Nanny McPhee Returns, the sequel to the 2005 Working Title Films original, made off with just $8.3 in loot.
The most disappointing result of the weekend though had to go to the latest Jennifer Aniston comedy The Switch, which only made it to number eight in the charts with $8.1 million… Ouch.
Get the top ten in full over here.
