Expend4bles made just $8.3 million domestically.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Expend4bles had a record-breaking opening weekend in the worst way possible, and there are a number of reasons why this fourth Expendables movie bombed at the box office. Sylvester Stallone returns as Barney Ross in Expend4bles as his Expendables team is sent to Libya to keep a mercenary from stealing nuclear warheads.
8 The Expendables 3 Had Already Hurt The Franchise The success of a franchise movie is often based not just on the movie's quality but the reception of its predecessor. Despite being considered a return to form, Mission: Impossible III infamously underperformed at the box office due to the negative response to Mission: Impossible II. Similarly, even though Expend4bles hasn't been well-received, the box office was significantly impacted by the negative response of The Expendables 3.
6 The Expendables 4 Doesn't Have The Same Star Power Anymore The big appeal of The Expendables was the ensemble cast of '80s and '90s action heroes. Along with Sylvester Stallone, the first movie starred Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, and Bruce Willis. The Expendables 2 added Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme, and it became exciting to see which movie stars would be added to the cast of each consecutive release.
4 Many People Know To Wait For Expendables 4 On VOD Or Streaming Ever since COVID-19, It has become the norm to expect movies on streaming sooner rather than later, as studios announced day-and-date theatrical and streaming releases on services like Disney+ and Max. As a result, audiences have been conditioned into believing that theater visits can be skipped, especially movies that aren't events or essential viewing, such as Expend4bles.
