The film is eyeing a franchise-low opening weekend haul.
The Big Picture As the industry awaits a deal in the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, the same studios that have held off on paying artists a fair wage are proceeding with the release of movies withouth the stars to promote them. But while The Nun II and The Equalizer 3 were able to deliver solid debuts recently, this week’s fourth Expendables film — stylized as Expend4bles — is looking at a franchise-low, single-digit opening.
Fronted by Sylvester Stallone, the franchise began as a tongue-in-cheek vehicle for veteran action stars, and actually proved to be quite successful initially. Released in 2010, The Expendables grossed $103 million domestically and $268 million worldwide; The Expendables 2, which debuted just two years later, grossed $85 million domestically and over $310 million worldwide.
