Culture: “Expendables” success: When did Stallone last have a #1 hit?
- $35 million, “The Expendables'” first weekend take source
- 2003 the last time Stallone topped the box office, that time with (we kid you not) “Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over“
- 2001 the last Stallone starring role to top the box office, that time with the long-forgotten “Driven“
- » Other notes: First of all, “The Expendables” is the biggest opening in Sylvester Stallone’s long career, not counting for inflation; “Spy Kids 3-D” is easily the second-biggest. And despite his many movies and A-list status, only five of them have made more than $100 million, with “Rambo: First Blood Part II” being his biggest moneymaker. Oh yeah, remember “Cop Land,” that fat cop movie he did? That opened at No. 1, too.
