The Expendables 2 was dominant at the box office this weekend, although in comparison with its predecessor the numbers were less-than-stellar. We have for you the weekend box office recap, after the jump.

#1. The Expendables 2

The Expendables 2, much to nobody’s surprise, was triumphant in its $28 million opener. Despite reviews and word-of-mouth superior to its predecessor, the film couldn’t muster the types of numbers The Expendables managed back in 2010.

The “A-” CinemaScore will likely give the film decent legs, particularly as it seems to be the last major blockbuster of the summer. Whether or not audiences will embrace it enough to entice financers with a third film? This sequel’s budget grew by $20 million, while the opening weekend haul dropped 17% from $35 million down to $28. Not stellar, if you ask me.

Still, if Sly Stallone and company are still up to the task of delivering on another steroid adrenaline filled sequel, I wouldn’t be completely shocked to see it. How about you? Would you like to see an Expendables 3? Let us know in the comments!

#2. The Bourne Legacy

The Bourne Legacy suffered a 55% bleed its second weekend, which isn’t terrible but as it’s now grossed $69 million on a $125 million budget, it’ll be interesting to see whether Universal can justify another one of these.

#3. ParaNorman

ParaNorman brought in $14 million overall this weekend, as well as a solid, but not spectacular, “B+” from CinemaScore. Without that reported production budget, however, it’s difficult to gage exactly where this one stands.

Did you see ParaNorman yet? What did you think?

#4. The Campaign

The Campaign enjoyed a drop under the 50% mark its second weekend, as it has now grossed $51 million domestically. Still, that $56 million budget looms large, as it doesn’t look like this will ever be afforded the shot at a runaway success.

#5. Sparkle

Audiences turned out for Whitney Houston’s swan song, rewarding Sparkle with $12 million and an “A” CinemaScore. Other than that, there isn’t much to say about this one.

#6. The Dark Knight Rises

The Dark Knight Rises continues to perform admirably, although at this point its weekend grosses aren’t really making much of a difference compared with its opening numbers and that hefty budget.

#7. The Odd Life of Timothy Green

Not the greatest opening here for Disney, as The Odd Life of Timothy Green managed only seventh in its opening weekend. I don’t think they’ll be too happy about that, as families mostly turned out for ParaNorman over this one, despite its “A-” CinemaScore.

#8. Hope Springs

A 37% drop in its second weekend is solid for Hope Springs, as the older audiences typically don’t rush out to see a film its opening weekend. Expect Streep and company to yet again show they have the ability to bring out audiences, regardless the film.

#9. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days

Not really much to say about Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days. It’s now third in the family film pecking order, not a good sign.

#10. Total Recall

Total Recall managed to stay in the top ten another week. Still, things are not looking good for this one at all.

There you have it. Next week we have the Joseph Gordon-Levitt starrer Premium Rush. Do you see it topping the box office?
