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.
