‘Expendables 4’ Aiming For $15M-$17M Opening Stateside – Box Office Preview
deadline.comOn another sleepy autumn weekend at the box office when actors can’t promote their movies due to the strikes, Millennium Media and Lionsgate are rolling out the latest in their long-in-the-tooth Sylvester Stallone-Jason Statham franchise, Expendables 4, to a weekend take between $15 million-$17 million.
That range is right around where 2014’s Expendables 3 opened –$15.8M– and not far from where Stallone’s last Rambo film resided pre-pandemic, 2019’s Rambo: Last Blood, which bowed to $18.8M.
Expendables 3 ended its stateside run at $39.3M while Rambo: Last Blood finaled at $44.8M. Guys over 25 are the grab with the fourth movie about over-the-hill action heroes booked in 3,400 theaters.
The R-rated movie is also playing at 700 PLF screens including XD, RPX, Dolby and D BOX. Previews start at 6 p.m. Thursday. Similar to other Lionsgate pics with Millennium, the former is handling North America and UK.
