On another sleepy autumn weekend at the box office when actors can’t promote due to the strikes, Millenium Media and Lionsgate are rolling out their long-in-the-tooth Sylvester Stallone-Jason Statham franchise, Expend4bles to a weekend take between $15M-$17M.
That range is right around where 2014’s Expendables 3 opened –$15.8M– and not far from where Stallone’s last Rambo film resided pre-pandemic, 2019’s Rambo: Last Blood, which bowed to $18.8M.
Expendables 3 ended its stateside run at $39.3M while Rambo: Last Blood finaled at $44.8M. Guys over 25 are the grab with the fourth movie about over-the-hill action heroes booked in 3,400 theaters.
The R-Rated movie is also playing at 700 PLF screens including XD, RPX, Dolby and D BOX. Previews start at 6PM on Thursday. Similar to other Lionsgate pics with Millennium, the former is handling North America and UK.
