Forget Muscley-Juicehead-Guido's, this weekend at the box office it was all about the muscley-juicehead-old guys.
Sylvester Stallone's testosterone-heavy film The Expendables took the top spot at the box office this weekend, earning a hefty $35 million dollars, enough to force Julia Roberts' comeback film Eat, Pray, Love to a runner-up debut.
While both films clearly had different target markets, (70% of EPL audience members were female), there was more of a mixed crowd who went to see Stallone, along with aged (but classic) action stars like Bruce Willis and Mickey Rourke blow shit up.
Here's a look at the top ten highest grossing films this past weekend:
1. The Expendables ($35 million)
2. Eat, Pray, Love ($23.7 million)
3. The Other Guys ($18 million)
4. Inception ($11.4 million)
5.Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World ($10.5 million)
6. Despicable Me ($6.8 million)
7. Step Up 3D ($6.6 million)
8. Salt ($6.4 million)
9. Dinner for Schmucks ($6.3 million)
10. Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore ($4.1 million)
