Sylvester Stallone is the new king of the U.K. box office after his blockbuster The Expendables exploded into the charts with takings of $5.9 million (£3.9 million).
Jason Statham was grateful for the chance to reteam with Jet Li in The Expendables - so the action duo could redeem themselves for their past movie flops.
Even though "Vampires Suck" got knocked down to third after a first place Wednesday debut, all is not lost in the romantic world of bloodsuckers and werewolves as "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" on Thursday surpassed the $296,623,634 domestic box office total of "New Moon."
