The Expendables actually had a slightly better IM than Inglourious Basterds if the numbers hold. Kinda surprising.

Hmm if TE can manage to have solid holds like this in the upcoming weeks it actually has a shot at grossing 100M+ domestic although $80M is ALOT more likely. I'm not betting on it , but it's deffentially possible. Also absolutely terrible numbers for Scott Pilgrim. There is a BIG chance it will go under $30M now.

Wow very nice for TE I thought it will be way more frontloaded than this, just OK for EPL I thought it will clear 25m mark, of course disappointing for SP but this was expected. And good numbers for tracking they nailed all the openers this weekend

I mean you can't say that is not very disappointing. :sad:

Very strong opening for The Expendables. I have no idea how this won't avoid terrible legs, but I've been surprised before.

Eat Pray Love is right around where I expected. It won't gross $100M, but it looks good for at least $80M. Nice numbers for Julia after Duplicity underperformed.

The Other Guys avoided a 50% drop, so that's a success. And another relatively strong hold for Inception.

Scott Pilgrim was always destined to be a cult hit, so this doesn't surprise me all that much. It's still less than I expected, though.

Despicable Me is still one of the summer's biggest success stories. Salt looks like it has enough gas to hit $120M.

Toy Story 3=$400M=yay.

Very disappointing hold this weekend for The Kids Are All Right. The movie is wonderful and really deserved to do better in wide release than its sparkling limited numbers indicated. It will still make at least $20M on a $4M budget, though, and is probably good for at least a few Oscar noms.

Looks like Flipped won't be going wide.

These numbers suck more than a vacuum.

According to latimes The Expendables got a B+ Cinemascore, ETPLV got a B Cinemascore and Scott Pilgrim got an A - Cinemascore. Also in a more suprising twist 40% of Expendables audience was female. The movie seems to have alot more broader appeal than expected.

Maybe boyfriends dragged their girlfriends to see it as payback for Eclipse/[insert other chick flicks here].

LOL.

Maybe women have finally developed some good taste.

They wanted to see all the muscled up old farts. Something for older women as opposed to Twilight.

I could see a sub-20% Sunday drop for The Expendables. District 9 did it last year, although that had better WOM. Can't see Eat Pray Love drop that low on Sunday though.

So Susan must have dragged BKB to see this one.

The Sunday drops for the top two are a little too generous.

That drop for THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT breaks my heart.

Julia Roberts flops! Sly rules!!

EPL will have better legs .

Stallone's first 20+ weekend since Rambo II. What is even more fantastic is the fact that over 60% of the audience was under 25.

Didn't quite reach $50+m.

Great for TE, Lionsgate must be happy. Some interesting demographics for TE, unexpected even you could say.

Terrible for Pilgrim, just terrible. Hopefully Inception goes up with actuals.



This just proves how meaningless Cinemascore is in the grand scheme of things. A good Cinemascore for Pilgrim means nothing if it couldn't find a broad audience to begin with.

Yeah, it doesn't necessarily mean anything. Didn't GROWN UPS have a C+ Cinema Score? And that had great legs. And EPL got the weakest of the openers yet will have the best legs.

Not surprised that many women would opt for The Expendables over forgetable drama fluff like this latest Julia Roberts turd.

They may as well greenlight two. Just like they milked the SAW franchise for all it was worth, they can do the same with this. There are still plenty of washed up action stars they can add to the mix, like Seagal, Norris, and Van Damme, for example.
