'Expendables' wins soft weekend; '2016' drops to No. 7. Actioner earns $13.5 mil as conservative docu trails holdovers with $6.3 mil
Lionsgate's "The Expendables 2," with an estimated $13.5 million, won Stateside B.O. bragging rights for its second weekend, lifting the pic's domestic cume to $52.3 million.
"Expendables" beat a trio of low-profile wide releases -- as did politically polarizing docu "2016: Obama's America," though the film, at just north of $6.3 million, fell behind a crush of holdovers to land at No. 7 through Sunday. The docu, which expanded to 1,091 locations this weekend, ranked third on Friday, but struggled to maintain stamina as the weekend progressed.
Sony's bicycle thriller "Premium Rush" delivered a modest -- but expected -- $6.3 million in three day, while Open Road's R-rated comedy "Hit and Run" bowed to $4.7 million, with $5.9 million in five days.
Warner Bros., meanwhile, punted Dark Castle's "The Apparition," launching the film at just 810 locations where it collected a meager $3 million.
At the specialty B.O., IFC's "Sleepwalk With Me" broke a house record at New York's IFC Center, estimating an outstanding $65,000. Pic stands as the theater's best per-screen debut for a non-animated American feature from a first-time director (Mike Birbiglia). The film, which is based on Birbiglia's one-man comedy show, expands Friday to the top 20 U.S. markets.
