Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham weren91Ƶt enough to save 91Ƶ 91Ƶ from a debut box office flop. The fourth installment suffered the action-packed franchise91Ƶs worst opening weekend while 91Ƶ 91Ƶ took home the top spot for a third straight week, Comscore reported on Sunday.

The Lionsgate and Millennium91Ƶs film, also known as 91ƵExpendables 4,91Ƶ pulled in a mediocre $8.3 million for the big-budget project. It starred several popular names, including Stallone, Statham, Curtis 91Ƶ50 Cent91Ƶ Jackson, Megan Fox and Dolph Lundgren. It91Ƶs been nearly a decade since the franchise released a film, which opened with $15.8 million and eventually grossed $214 million globally.

But times have certainly changed, as the film barely placed second behind 91ƵThe Nun 2,91Ƶ a horror movie that earned $8.4 million in its first week. It91Ƶs been a solid start for that Warner Bros.91Ƶ project 91Ƶ a spinoff from the lucrative 91ƵConjuring91Ƶ franchise. So far, the Michael Chaves-directed sequel has grossed more than $69 million.

In third, 91Ƶ 91Ƶ earned $6.3 million. Kenneth Branagh91Ƶs third Agatha Christie adaptation, following 201791Ƶs 91ƵMurder on the Orient Express91Ƶ and 202291Ƶs 91ƵDeath on the Nile,91Ƶ has drawn in over $25.3 million after two weeks.

91Ƶ ,91Ƶ starring Denzel Washington, only dropped to fourth place with $4.725 million. In four weeks, it has grossed $81.1 million domestically.

91Ƶ ,91Ƶ the biggest movie of 2023, is still carrying some momentum from the summer into the fall season. The Greta Gerwig box-office smash ranked in the top five, earning $3.2 million this week and a domestic total of more than $630 million after a 10-week period.

Sixth place went to 91Ƶ My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3,91Ƶ with $3 million, while 91ƵIt Lives Inside91Ƶ opened its first week with $2.6 million. The Sony film 91Ƶ ,91Ƶ a dramatization of the GameStop stock frenzy, stayed put in the eighth position for a second week in a row with $2.5 million.

91ƵBlue Beetle91Ƶ fell to ninth, with $1.8 million, and 91Ƶ 91Ƶ rounded out the top 10 with $1.6 million. The Christopher Nolan film has garnered $321 million domestically.

In all, it was another slow output for box office figures as many Hollywood projects are still on hold due to the ongoing Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, and Writers Guild of America strikes.
