Third for the day behind &#8220;Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles&#8221; ($7.9 million) and &#8220;Guardians of the Galaxy&#8221; ($7.0 million, which puts the film&#8217;s cumulative gross at $205.0 million), the tally greatly trailed opening day marks for the first two &#8220;Expendables&#8221; films.<\/p>\n<p>2010&#8217;s &#8220;The Expendables&#8221; earned $13.3 million on its August 13 release day.  &#8220;The Expendables 2&#8221; grossed $10.5 million in receipts when it launched on August 17, 2012.<\/p>\n<p>The latest &#8220;Expendables&#8221; will not even gross $20 million in its opening weekend.  No matter how one slices it, a sub-$20 million total reflects a disappointing performance.<\/p>\n<p>New releases &#8220;Let&#8217;s Be Cops&#8221; and &#8220;The Giver&#8221; followed in fourth and fifth place, respectively, Friday.  After earning a combined $8.4 million on Wednesday and Thursday, &#8220;Cops&#8221; added $5.6 million to its haul Friday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Giver&#8221; earned $4.7 million.<\/p>\n<p>Both newcomers were panned by critics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27637,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[36,1050],"tags":[2691,2771,2726,2723,2709],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Box Office: &quot;Expendables 3&quot; Has Weakest Opening Day Yet<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The weakest reviewed of the three &quot;Expendables&quot; movies also got off to the slowest start at the box office. &quot;The Expendables 3,&quot; which received a paltry\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/08\/16\/box-office-expendables-3-weakest-opening-day-yet\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Box Office: &quot;Expendables 3&quot; Has Weakest Opening Day Yet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The weakest reviewed of the three &quot;Expendables&quot; movies also got off to the slowest start at the box office. &quot;The Expendables 3,&quot; which received a paltry\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/08\/16\/box-office-expendables-3-weakest-opening-day-yet\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-08-16T18:19:07+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/The-Expendables-3-e1408213133240.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"688\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/08\/16\/box-office-expendables-3-weakest-opening-day-yet\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/08\/16\/box-office-expendables-3-weakest-opening-day-yet\/\",\"name\":\"Box Office: \\\"Expendables 3\\\" Has Weakest Opening Day Yet\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2014-08-16T18:19:07+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2014-08-16T18:19:07+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"The weakest reviewed of the three \\\"Expendables\\\" movies also got off to the slowest start at the box office. \\\"The Expendables 3,\\\" which received a paltry\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/08\/16\/box-office-expendables-3-weakest-opening-day-yet\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News &amp; Charts, TV News &amp; Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
