London, Aug 30 (IANS) Acclaimed Hollywood filmmaker James Cameron’s re-release of sci-fi epic movie ‘Avatar’ has been reported a flop at the US box office at the weekend.
The horror film ‘The Last Exorcism’ topped the box office chart, debuting with $21.3 million in earnings, followed closely by ‘Takers’, the crime drama starring Chris Brown, Hayden Christensen and Matt Dillon opening with $21 million, reports contactmusic.com.
Meanwhile, Cameron’s 3-D special edition of ‘Avatar’, which included an extra nine minutes of footage, failed to draw cinemagoers in droves as it did last year. The film pulled up merely $4 million.
Sylvester Stallone’s action hit ‘The Expendables’ slipped to third place with $9.5 million, raising its three-week total to $82 million.
Rounding out the top five were Julia Roberts’ feel-good film ‘Eat Pray Love’ and Samuel L. Jackson’s action comedy ‘The Other Guys’, taking in $7 million and $6.6 million respectively.
