In what looks like probably the most definitive proof but that you just shouldn’t spend untold tens of millions of {dollars} making a film completely for the individuals who do not forget that there was an Expendables 3 (it got here out in 2014 and Kelsey Grammer was in it???), Expend4bles—pronounced ecks-pen-d-for-bulls—opened to only $8.3 million. As we famous earlier this weekend, that wasn’t sufficient to beat The Nun II, which truly got here out simply forward of Expend4bles by $100,000 in its third week in U.S. theaters. The horror sequel spin-off has a pleasant $69 million complete.
Finishing the highest 5 within the U.S. this weekend are A Haunting In Venice, which doesn’t appear to have the stunning field workplace oomph of its predecessors in that collection (it solely has $25 million in its second week), The Equalizer 3 (quietly pulling in $80 million in 4 weeks), and—holy shit—Barbie (nonetheless getting cash after 10 weeks in theaters).
In the underside half of the highest 10 we’ve got My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, horror newcomer It Lives Inside, Dumb Money (which jumped up a thousand p.c from its debut at quantity 19 because of an even bigger rollout, however that solely quantities to $2.5 million in week two), Blue Beetle, and Barbie’s pal Oppenheimer. All advised, this was certainly the worst field workplace weekend of the 12 months, and you need to go means again to February 12 to see something remotely near this. Magic Mike’s Last Dance was the highest film, however Avatar: The Way Of Water in its ninth week and the Twenty fifth-anniversary rerelease of Titanic had been fairly near it.
