So the big question everyone is asking is why did The Expendables 3 do so poorly? Was it the pirated copy leaking online? Was it franchise fatigue? Was it the PG-13 rating? Was it the low quality? What was it!?!?!? Well, no matter what it was (obviously a combination of all those factors) the film failed at the box office and has failed worse than estimated as the final numbers are in and it ended the weekend with $15.8 million. That’s enough for third place behind #1 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ($28.6m), Guardians of the Galaxy ($25.1m) and fellow newcomer Let’s Be Cops in fourth.
Let’s Be Cops, which opened on Wednesday, did quite well in its first five days, bringing in $17.8 million over the weekend for a five day total of $26.2 million. Meanwhile, the only other wide new release of the weekend was The Giver, which, like Expendables, was pretty much a bust out of the gates, bringing in $12.3 million on its way to never being heard from again.
Finally, while it looked like Richard Linklater‘s Hercules by a couple-hundred thousand. Oh well…
