"The Expendables 2" in its third week of release reached a cumulative North America box office of 124 million US dollars, with a relatively large drop in box office, while overseas it has accumulated 235 million US dollars.
This shows that veteran action movies still have a strong box office appeal internationally.
Because of the decent box office performance of "The Expendables 2," Lionsgate Films and Millennium Films, along with Wanda Film Industry, began preparations for "The Expendables 3." The plan is to feature Link, Scarlett Johansson, and Jason Statham as the protagonists, with Stallone, Bruce Willis, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Jet Li, and others as supporting characters in the action film.
Considering that Link has to shoot "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" this year, "The Expendables 2" is scheduled for shooting in the second half of the year or next year.
