Dude...I don't know where you get your ideas on how a movie is going to do at the box office. But you are way off about them "taking a bath"

They are making money hand over fist with this series of movies. And they will again. Doesn't matter what you think or movie critics think. This movie is gonna be number one whether it sucks or doesn't suck.

We all like to cheer for our heroes from our childhood.

That is the draw of the movie. Nobody expects it to win an Academy Award or anything. heh-heh
Maybe that's just my thought because I saw the movie and know it's going to get lambasted by the critics when they are able to screen it. It may not take a "bath" as I stated, but it's certainly not a good flick.

I did laugh my ass off when they asked Wesley Snipes why he was locked up and he answers, "tax evasion". I hate that every older action star continue to use their own, or other people's catch phrases. Yeah, we get it Arnold. Get to the choppah! You'll be back. Etc, etc, etc....

This was supposed to be the last installment so Sly Stallone is setting it up for a younger group of "Expendables" to take over the franchise. That's why none of the main (older) characters are even in this movie for any substantial time. It looks like the studio went cheap on this one.
