Box Office Derby

Bit of a surprise on the weekend box office – Expendables was number one, with about $17 mill in tickets sold, everyone expected that, but Vampires Suck came in at number two, and no one saw that coming. Critics hated the Twilight spoof, but audiences showed up, giving the film a slight edge over Eat Pray Love; the Julia Roberts picture is sinking like a soft marshmallow in very hot chocolate, showing none of the staying power of Julie and Julia from last season. Scott Pilgrim continued its ride on the down elevator, looking more and more like it will have to find redemption in DVD or whatever. Piranha 3D did okay, though. They’re already planning a sequel.
