The Expendables is really a crapshoot in my eyes. It could be a hit it could tank. I think it should do about 25-35 Mill but I won't surprised if it goes a lot higher or lower than that.

The Expendables and Scott Pilgrim had some strong midnight shows so both could perform above expectations.

Early Box Office Numbers:

The Expendables $34 million ($13 million Friday)
Eat, Pray, Love $23 million ($8 million Friday)
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World $12 million ($5 million Friday)

Meanwhile, Toy Story 3 should get to $400 million domestic by Sunday and possibly pass Transformers 2 and Spider-Man by next week to be the ninth highest-grossing film of all-time. Worldwide, it is the thirteenth biggest movie of all-time (Box Office Mojo claims fifteenth but Disney has announced it has passed Shrek 2 for thirteenth).
