What does it take to make it to the top of the weekend box office? Muscles. As simple as that. The brawn of the Expendables marched on to the top of the weekend box office with $35 million ticket sales in US. While the movie could have been much better in terms of creating more intricate personalities for its leads, I guess the old throat-cutting, gun-slinging action is still in demand. The Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World however could not bring in the green bucks despite the positive reviews and landed up on the fifth spot. It was surprisingly Julia Roberts' 'Eat Pray Love' that slotted in the second spot, grossing $23 million.
Woody and his gang crossed the $400 million mark, the second animated film to do so after Shrek 2. Toys do sell big! And finally, Salt became the 16th movie to hit the $100 million in the US box office this year. Not many left, I believe, that will achieve this feat in 2010.
