Box Office Mojo has revealed the official box office numbers and they show Expendables 2 made slightly less then estimated with $28.5 Million for 1st Place. As stated before, a disappointment considering the $34.8 Million dollar take of the first Expendables. Be sure to check out the previous article which explains why I believe Expendables 2 had a lower total with updated comments from you guys!! CommentsLionsgate's The Expendables 2 opened in first place this weekend with $28.59 million. Despite the comfortable first place finish (and an even bigger cast this time around), the ensemble action sequel was unable to match the $34.83 million debut of The Expendables back in August 2010. On a more positive note, after opening with $10.49 million on Friday The Expendables 2 was able to generate an opening weekend ratio of 2.72 to 1. That was a bit stronger than the opening weekend ratio of 2.61 to 1 generated by the first film. Factor in an A- CinemaScore (a notch higher than the B+ rating received by its predecessor) with a soft line-up of new releases the next three weeks and there is the potential for The Expendables 2 to hold up a bit better than The Expendables did. However, the more front-loaded nature of sequels in general will also be working against the film as well going forward. The audience breakdown for The Expendables 2 skewed towards male moviegoers (63 percent) and moviegoers 25 and older (65 percent). Trevor 08/20/2012 14:10
I also think timing has effected the Expendables 2 box office, I'm sure many people recently saw The Dark Knight Rises two or three times, and maybe don't have enough money or aren't willing to spend their money to go to the movies again so soon? Darkman Seven 1 08/20/2012 14:19
