Let's Be Cops made about $6mil on Wednesday, beating both TMNT and Guardians' takes for the day. Another weekday for those 2 movies, yes, but that's gotta a really great first day for a low-budget movie with no major stars.
I must admit, too, I saw a LOT more Let's Be Cops commercials (all over TV) than Expendables 3 ones.

I must say, while not a theater experience, Let's Be Cops does look like a fun time on a Saturday night when this hits HBO/Cinemax/What have you

I'm absolutely astonished that Ninja Turtles managed to be number one two weeks in a row.
The movie leaking early really killed Expendables 3.

Did it? there have been other films that have leaked early that didn't hurt their box office. I think it might also be due to the fact that it's a pg-13 rated film (The first two were rated R).

Would PG-13 really cause people who liked the first two to not see it, though?
With the cast alone, I figured it would get people into the theater on pure star power.

I'm not seeing it because of it, yeah. The PG-13 rating means the cheesy over the top violence is toned down. That was one of the main reasons I saw the first two. The star power only went so far for me. I saw the first two because they were cheesy, over the top action films featuring some of my favorite action film stars. If anything the star power enhanced things, but that's it.

I also think there is general apathy towards bunch of sequels this year unless it's a MCU film and X Men due to having a full cast since 2006 that isn't a prequel. Or 22 Jump Street due to great buzz and how funny the first one was. Like your top domestic movies this year were The Lego Movie, Malificent, Godzilla, 22 Jump Street, Neighbors, and Guardians of the Galaxy has a high chance of being the biggest grossing film of the summer.
Hell poor reviews aside Let's Be Cops is actually a funny original concept. I'm also expecting Intersteller to be one of the top films this year as well. The only franchise left that is going to make more money then the other film will be The Hunger Games but that's a powerhouse franchise and the films are actually good.

Forecast (August 22-24) 1. If I Stay - $21.5 million 2. Sin City - $16.5 million 3. Guardians of the Galaxy - $15.1 million (-40%) 4. Ninja Turtles - $14.8 million (-48%) 5. When the Game Stands Tall - $9 million
Might have waited too long for Sin City

Forecast (August 22-24) Might have waited too long for Sin City I would certainly say they did. For one, it's sad that this film wasn't made while Michael Clarke Duncan and Brittany Murphy were still with us. Both of their characters were in the graphic novel, with Manute playing a pretty important role. I realize Dennis Haybert took over the role. Robert Rodriguez may have indulged too much in vanity projects. The original Grindhouse concept was a lot of fun, but he would follow this up with TWO Machete movies which was playing on a similar note to the Grindhouse experience with Tarantino. He also decided to work on another Spy Kid film which was pretty significant failure. The Sin City remake should targeted a 2007 or 2008 release date. I say that not simply so that Duncan and Murphy would have been able to be in it. This would have been back when the first movie still felt new and fresh. Now it just feels like too much time has passed. You have to strike while there is still interest.

Problem is, that's when Miller got grabbed to make THE SPIRIT, which he was enveloped in at the time. But when that movie crapped the bed, he kinda got discouraged by Hollywood and wandered away for a few years.....despite a great working relationship & personal friendship with Rodriguez, which has been maintained, he wanted to do some comic work - enter ALL STAR BATMAN & ROBIN (which still isn't finished) and HOLY TERROR (which openly revealed to everyone that Miller's kinda gone off the deep end in some respects).

Never even heard of If I Stay Another cutesy love story based on a novel, like The Fault in Our Stars, but totally not. Every movie I never heard of that always wins number one at the box office is always based on a novel for teenage girls. Like I have ever only seen the commercials for the second Huger Games and that's it
