Weekend Box Office: EXPENDABLES #2 is #1—not too shabby for a bunch of old guys!

The Expendables 2 topped the box office, beating The Bourne Legacy! This is an unbelievable accomplishment for arthritic old men with matching shoulder surgeries. Although the $28 million that Sly Stallone and his slew of ageless action heroes pulled in—will surely afford them plenty of Viagra refills—the sequel’s debut weekend is down versus the original Expendables in 2010, which earned $34 million during its opening weekend.

The Bourne Legacy took 2^nd place and $17 million, beating the premiering ParaNorman, which brought in $14 million and the bronze box office medal. The second leg of The Campaign came in 4th place with $13 million worth of new votes. The debut of Whitney Houston’s final film — Sparkle — earned a sparkling $12 million, but finished in a not so sparkly 5^th place.

1-  The Expendables 2* raked in $28 million in its opening weekend.
