Last weekend's number one film, The Expendables, held onto the top box office slot for another weekend, dropping 52.6% for $16.5 million. After two weeks in release, the Sylvester Stallone film has grossed just under $65 million, showing that Stallone still has legs.
Second place went to newcomer Vampires Suck. The parody of the Twilight series opened with $12.2 million. With a modest production budget of $20 million, even considering how quickly these films tend to decline at the box office, the film should be able to turn a nice profit once international grosses and home video are taken into consideration.
