Weekend Box Office Report: August 24-26, 2012


The Expendables 2 (Lionsgate) topped the box office for the second weekend in a row, earning over $13 million, for a ten day take of over $50 million. I suppose a third installment will be inevitable. In its third weekend, The Bourne Legacy (Universal) held strong by capturing the number two spot, with just over $9 million. However, the film is not on track to match any of the previous Bourne installments, but that should not prevent the franchise from continuing. Rounding out the top five is the family friendly ParaNorman (pictured above), which landed in third place with over $8.5 million, followed by The Campaign (Warner Bros.) at number four with about $7.5 million and finally, The Dark Knight Rises (Warner Bros.) at number five with just over $7 million. After six weeks, the final installment in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy has earned $422 million domestically.

New releases Premium Rush, Hit and Run and The Apparition failed to catch on with moviegoers. Premium Rush (Sony/Columbia) faltered in eight place, earning just over $6 million, while Hit and Run (Open Road) languished in tenth place, with about $4.5 million and The Apparition (Warner Bros.) landed in twelfth place, with only $2.8 million. However, The Apparition is playing in far fewer theaters than Premium Rush or Hit and Run. Finally, the film 2016: Obama's America has some support in this election year, earning $6.5 million, which was good enough for a seventh place finish.

Here are the Top Ten Weekend Films (numbers are in millions):

1. The Expendables 2 - $13.4

2. The Bourne Legacy - $9.3

3. ParaNorman - $8.6

4. The Campaign - $7.5

6. The Odd Life of Timothy Green - $7.1

7. 2016: Obama's America - $6.5

8. Premium Rush - $6.0
