Expendables 2 Runs Over Premium Rush at Box Office

As expected, The Expendables 2 remained the box office champ for the second weekend in a row. This was a particularly anemic weekend at the domestic box office, where none of Hollywood's new releases cracked $10 million.

The Joseph Gordon-Levitt bike thriller Premium Rush was dead on arrival, debuting near the bottom of the Top 10. The biggest box office surprise was the anti-Obama indie documentary 2016: Obama's America, which only played in a third of the cinemas as Hollywood's new releases.

Here are the weekend estimates via Rentrak:

  1. The Expendables 2 $13.5 million
  2. The Bourne Legacy $9.3 million
  3. ParaNorman $8.5 million
  4. The Campaign $7.4 million
  5. The Dark Knight Rises $7.2 million
  6. The Odd Life of Timothy Green $7.1 million
  7. Premium Rush $6.3 million
  8. 2016: Obama's America $6.2 million
  9. Hope Springs $6 million
  10. Hit and Run $4.7 million

The long delayed horror flick The Apparition debuted in 12th place with $3 million, but it was only playing in 810 locations.
