'Expendables' beats new releases at box office

It looks like Sylvester Stallone's "The Expendables" is on track to top the North American box office yet again, and this despite the release of five new films this weekend. What is up with Sly and his gang?

"The Expendables" took the No. 1 spot Friday, earning another $4.9 million. Following closely in second place was "Vampires Suck," which generated $4.4 million. They will both battle it out for the weekend win.

At No. 3, new entry "Lottery Ticket" took home $3.8 million. Julia Roberts' "Eat Pray Love" dropped to fourth place, pulling in $3.7 million. Alexandre Aja's "Piranha 3D" only took $3.6 million at No. 5.

The remaining new releases disappointed a little. "The Switch" with Jason bateman and Jennifer Aniston debuted in seventh place with $2.7 million, while "Nanny McPhee Returns" only grabbed $2.6 million.

"The Other Guys" collected $3 million at No. 6, and "Inception" picked up $2.1 million in ninth place. "Scott Pilgrimvs. the World" slipped to No. 10, earning another $1.6 million. (Source: Deadline)
