BOX OFFICE

They've still got it!

The Expendables 2, the over-the-top shoot-em-up featuring Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Jean-Claude Van DammeChuck Norris and virtually every other action star of the past three decades, is expected to win the box office with about $30 million.

That puts the new release ahead of last week's champ, The Bourne Legacy, which is projected to finish in second place at approximately $17 million.

Animated feature ParaNorman and Sparkle, featuring the late Whitney Houston, are in a tight race for #3, with both movies on pace for $15 million or so.

Political comedy The Campaign should be finish in fifth with about $13 million.

The Dark Knight Rises and The Odd Life of Timothy Green are both tracking toward $10 million, putting the #6 spot up for grabs.

The Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones comedy Hope Springs is expected to earn about $8.5 million for eighth place.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3 should be next ($3 million), followed by Total Recall ($2.5 million).
