In a showdown of the sexes, men defeated women at the box office this weekend as Sylvester Stallone's "The Expendables" bested Julia Roberts' "Eat Pray Love."
'Expendables," which employed most of the action icons of the 1980s and '90s, muscled up $35 million while the chick flick earned $23.7 million.
The other new filmed that opened over the weekend, "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World," came in disappointing 5th place behind "The Other Guys" and "Inception" with an estimated $10.5 million.
The movie, which was a smash at Comic-Con, bombed despite earning by far the best reviews of the new films. According to survey site RottenTomatoes.com, 81 percent of the nation's critics recommended "Pilgrim," while just 43 percent praised "Expendables" and 39 percent gave "Love" a thumbs-up.
The fantastic movie, like "Kick-Ass," is hard to market. If you saw some of the TV spots, you had no idea what the film was about if you're not familiar with the source material. I do think the film will be in theaters as word of mouth spreads on how good it is. Showing in 400 less screens than "Expendables" and 200 less than "Eat Pray Love" doesn't help either.
"The Other Guys" continues to make people laugh while "Inception" boggles their minds. The rest of the film continue to peter off into DVD-land and we won't be seeing them around for long because HECK - a lot of new films come out next weekend. Which one will take the top spot? It's open season, so we'll have to wait and see...

The Expendables was good, but it really wasn't that memorable, unless you consider it had all those action stars.
I saw Scott Pilgrim, but that was damn awesome. I'm not a fan of Michael Cera and I haven't read any of the comics, but I loved the movie. It was one of those rare flicks that I wanted to watch again after the movie was over. Amazing movie. That's all I can say.
Haven't seen "Expendables" yet, but that has been the word around town.
As for "Pilgrim," I feel the same way about Cera and haven't read any of the comics either - but still loved it.
Sucks that it is such a niche market. Maybe years down the line it will become a cult film.
Just seen the film "The Expendables".
Great Action film. You will find out lot of actions and stunts in this film. The movie is with great plot and great cast..
