This week's box office winner is....

T

The Expendables!

The Sylvester Stallone film brought in a whooping $35 million, beating both Michael Cera's Scott Pilgrimage VS. The World and Julia Robert's "Eat, Pray, Love".

Will Ferrel's "The Other Guys" also got knocked down to third place.

Are you surprised with these box office results? I'm kind of surprise to see The Expendables take box office gold. Am I the only one who has never heard anything about this movie until like two days ago? I thought for sure first place would go to Michael Cera and "Scott Pilgrimage VS. The World". I heard so much about that film and so many of my friends went out to see it this week. I guess having Julia Roberts open at number 2 isn't all that surprising. I originally thought this movie would open big, until I read some of the reviews and realized it wasn't as great as a movie as everyone thought it was going to be. It really didn't seem to live up to its hype. Also, "The Other Guys" has been out for two weeks now, so sliding down to the number three spot isn't all that surprising. There has been so many cop comedy movies out that I'm surprised it debuted so highly at number one last week.

Did you see any of these movies this weekend? Which one(s)? What did you think of them?
