Box Office: “The Expendables 2” Stays #1, Anti-Obama Film Eyes Top 5 Finish
With dismal numbers cranking up the anxiety amongst Tinseltown’s top players, “The Expendables 2” is lined up to be the lone film with double digit earnings ox office over the weekend of August 17-19, 2012. The testosterone filled action caper starring Sylvester Stallone , Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jason Statham pulled in an estimated $3. 6 million with an unusually low $11. 7 million projected sophomore weekend total looking to be enough for a second straight first place finish. Once again settling for runner-up status, “The Bourne Legacy” has maintained its hold on second place – as the latest installment in the Tony Gilroy directed action/adventure franchise scored a $2. 5 million Friday which pegs its predicted third weekend earnings at $8. 4 million. Gracing just over 1,000 Stateside screens, the John Sullivan book-based documentary “2016: Obama’s America” is on pace for a solid $6 million opening weekend thanks to $2. 4 million in Friday sales. Also in the hunt to land within the top five theater moneymakers are the LAIKA 3D stop-motion comedy thriller “ParaNorman” ($7. 5 million), along with the Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis starring political comedy “The Campaign” and longtime box office resident “The Dark Knight Rises” (both at $6. 7 million).
