The first film in The Expendables franchise proved to be a success at the box office, taking in $103 million domestically with another $171 million from foreign markets, but interest in the series began to wane in the US with The Expendables 2 bringing in $85 million and The Expendables 3 collecting just $39 million at the domestic box office.
Stallone, however, has also served as producer and screenwriter on every Expendables film to date.
Both films, however, still saw tremendous success internationally with a foreign total of $229 million and $175 million, respectively.
