Expendables 2 tops box office in revenue

I took my wife to view this movie personally last night. It was refreshing to see some old fashioned stunts done the real way with GREAT actors.

Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables 2 topped the box office again for the second-straight weekend with a collection of 13.5 million dollars. The weekend’s new wide releases were overshadowed by ‘2016: Obama’s America’, which expanded from limited to nationwide release and took in 6.2 million dollars to finish at number eight. 

The documentary is a harsh conservative critique of what the country would look like four years from now if President Barack Obama is re-elected, the New York Post reported.

Released by Rocky Mountain Pictures, ‘Obama’s America’ nearly matched the 6.3-million-dollar debut of the number seven, Joseph Gordon-Levitt”s action tale ‘Premium Rush’, a Sony release that played in more than twice as many theatres as the Obama documentary.

The weekend’s other new wide releases opened weakly. Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell’s road-chase comedy ‘Hit and Run’ debuted at number 10 with 4.7 million dollars, and the Warner Bros. fright flick ‘The Apparition’ opened at number 12 with 3 million dollars.

The top 10 movies at the weekend box office were:

The Expendables 2 – 13.5 million dollars

The Bourne Legacy – 9.3 million dollars

ParaNorman – 8.5 million dollars

The Campaign – 7.4 million dollars

The Dark Knight Rises – 7.2 million dollars

The Odd Life of Timothy Green – 7.1 million dollars

Premium Rush – 6.3 million dollars

2016: Obama’s America – 6.2 million dollars

Hope Springs – 6 million dollars
