Box Office: 'The Last Exorcism' takes 'Takers' Friday

The Hayden Christensen-Chris Brown vehicle "Takers" came in second with a $7.5 million opening day at the box office. "The Expendables," which has won the box office title the last two weekends, finished third with $2.7 million, putting it over $75 million total.

Stallone's 'Expendables' retains crown with $16.5M

Sylvester Stallone's "The Expendables" fought off an onslaught of newcomers to finish on top of the weekend box office again.

Senh: This is decent hold for an action movie that opened huge. It'll be Sylvester Stallone's first $100M grosser with top-billing since ... Rocky IV. So good for Stallone. His career was going direct-to-video, but then he started writing-directing-producing-starring his films and revived his career.

Maybe movie stars aren't so expendable. At a time when pricey talent is thought to yield diminishing returns for film studios, Lionsgate's star-studded "The Expendables" easily topped the weekend boxoffice with an estimated $35 million in domestic coin. The testosterone-spiked actioner outpaced an impressive $23.7 million bow by Sony's female-targeted Julia Roberts starrer "Eat Pray Love" in second place, while Universal's geek-seeking "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" debuted with a dismal $10.5 million in fifth place.

Senh: Hurray for the guys. "The Expendables" won the box office battle this weekend. It's a fun action movie for the guys. Looks like Stallone will be cranking out more action movies. Maybe for "Expendables 2," they'll finally get Steven Seagal and Jean Claude van Damme. "Eat Pray Love" did pretty well too. Looks like Julia Roberts is back. "Scott Pilgrim vs. World" did decent considering it's more of a niche film.
