LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sylvester Stallone’s “The Expendables” has fought off an onslaught of newcomers to finish on top of the weekend box office again.
“The Expendables” remains No. 1 for a second straight weekend with $16.5 million. The action romp directed by and starring Stallone raised its total to $64.9 million.
Five new wide releases debuted to crowd the market, but none was able to pack in huge audiences.
Leading the newcomers was the “Twilight” spoof “Vampires Suck” with $12.2 million, raising its total to $18.6 million since opening Wednesday.
“Vampires Suck” was in a photo finish for the No. 2 spot with another holdover, Julia Roberts’ drama “Eat Pray Love,” which pulled in $12 million to lift its total to $47.1 million.
