It's rather obvious that Men dominated the box office this weekend.
Sylvester Stallone’s manly fueled Expendables against Julia Roberts’ Eat Pray Love, it was the Expendables that  won the weekend easily.

Meanwhile, the new release, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, had a tougher time linking with audiences. The Michael Cera-starrer got only $10.5 million, far cry than the studio had expected.
