Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham weren't enough to save Expend4bles from a debut box office flop. The Lionsgate and Millennium film, also known as Expendables 4, pulled in a mediocre $8.3 million for the big-budget project. It starred several popular names, including Stallone, Statham, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Megan Fox, and Dolph Lundgren. It's been nearly a decade since the franchise released a film, which opened with $15.8 million and eventually grossed $214 million globally, the AP reports. But times clearly have changed, as the film barely placed second behind The Nun 2, a Warner Bros. horror movie that has grossed more than $69 million.
Barbie, the biggest movie of 2023, is still carrying some momentum from the summer into the fall season. The Greta Gerwig box office smash ranked in the top five, earning $3.2 million for the week and a domestic total of more than $630 million after a 10-week period. Its co-hit for the summer, Oppenheimer, rounded out the top 10 with $1.6 million. The Christopher Nolan film has garnered $321 million domestically. Overall, it was another slow output for box office figures as many Hollywood projects are still on hold due to the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists and Writers Guild of America strikes.
