Expendables US box office success

Veteran action movie The Expendables shot straight to the top of the US box office last weekend taking $35m (£22.4m).

The action-fest from Sly Stallone and his pals was also a top trending topic on Twitter over the weekend. A much-retweeted post is a list of best one-liners from the movie and also the news that Stallone, high on the news that he's achieved his best ever opening at the box office, is already planning a sequel. Here's hoping he'll manage to persuade Steven Seagal and Jean Claude Van Damme this time.
