Expendables 3 - Flopped - Opening Weekend only $16 million

[The Scott]

I enjoyed it.  From the sound of the audience, so did the rest of the people in the theater watching it.

I just saw it/loved it!!  (Ronda Rousey sp? is a fucking bad ass!)

[G_Thang]

Deal.

lets do a estimation  US box office  $32M                            
Foreign (where piracy is massive) $60M
They said the movie was budgeted at 90M, it looked cheap as fuck.

Budget, $90 million + $20 for Marketing
Domestic box office will drop about 60% in week 2.  

BTW, Liongate only takes about 50-55% of the box office.

Movie has to take in $190M or so b/f they start to see a profit.

We're all just like our Dads who grew up watching John Wayne movies.  Sure, they stank to high hell towards the end but you still paid respects and watched them.  Which is what I'll do  

The first one wasn't bad, and the second one had its moments.  The 3rd installment has no Chuck Norris, so how good could it be?  I'll buy it for 5 bux on DVD in a month.

Wasnt the movie leaked a month before? Thatmay have impacted sales.

Bad luck for stallone?

His son died while promoting the second expendables.

Averaging less than $1M per person listed above the title on the poster, The Expendables 3 crashed and burned settling for a fourth place finish while overperformers Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Guardians of the Galaxy continued their strong run atop the box office

from Box Office Guru...

Fourth place belonged to the film with the most star power in the history of the medium, The Expendables 3. Seriously, is there another film that could boast this kind of lineup? The only one I can think of that might come close is X-Men: Days of Future Past. Led by megastars Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford and others, The Expendables 3 opened to an estimated $16.2M. There are 17 actors listed above the title on the promotional poster which means the movie made less than $1M per person. This isn't a scientific observation, just a very humorous one. While the series was never meant to get into megablockbuster range, this opening has to be seen as very disappointing. The first two films in the series opened to $34.8M and $28.6M.

Fuck that I will be going, every movie that comes out with arnold in it I pay to watch it, got to support my idol.

Homosexual post reported.

[Fakechestguy]

The worst story.

Terry crews gets injured so sly retires his team and finds new young 'Expendables'.
They fail and the old ones come back and save the day. Fucken Sly.

[King Shizzo]

There is no way that I will not enjoy this movie.

I take it for what it is.

Plus you add in guys like Mel Gibson and Wesley Snipes?

Sign me up!

[thegamechanger]

thats 20 minutes too long

[agenda21nwo]

I don't give a shit. I will still enjoy it.

x 100!

[Radical Plato]

I got twenty minutes in and stopped watching it, pure unadulterated garbage.  And where were the subtitles for when Arnold and Sylvester spoke?  What language is that they speak anyway?

Yes, it was.  I can't wait to see Mel Gibson in it.

I heard this time around Sly needed to make 30 mil on opening weekend to "break even" ....so yes, the franchise  is in red numbers ..

Experts predicted 15 mil over a month ago  so they're called experts for something .



WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH

To break even for what? It's the first three days of release. Come talk to me 9 months from now, when Sly is rubbing his taint with the global and dvd sales.

Face it guys, these actors are more popular outside of America. The U.S. may just be the worst major market for them at this point.

This is caused from the pussifcation of america men are like women these days they no longer want to see big alpha males shooting big guns, they want to see skinny twinks trying to act tough and big robots.

QFT
The first 2 movies made all their profits from overseas receipts...

[YngiweRhoads]

It won't lose money....there's a lot of great movies out right now like Guardians of the Galaxy and the TMNT.  It will still be profitable and they are already moving to Expendables 4

hahahahahahahahahahahaha hahaha

[Mrdibbs]

Surprises me the first two didn't flop. Can't understand people watching this junk. Just buy terminator and rambo for 2$ on blueray.

When the movie does as you expect in weekend release, then the movie basically sells itself from then on ....

There's a possibility the movie will stick around and make more money......

but trust me, You can only go around with the "failed,flopped,tanked,trashed" tittles running your legacy for so long...  these guys were blockbusters hit makers once They have an image and ego bigger than you can ever imagine...

They don't want to embarrass themselves by saying "hey I'm still popular in China and Guatemala hoping the movie will do decent in dvd sales 10 months for now.

Specially when you go to every single media outlet in the USA, promoting it weeks prior its release"


Sad.


WoooSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Nails]

Only parents and teens on dates go movies nowadays
