This weekend, Premium Rush opened in theaters starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The film is about a bike messenger in the Big Apple that picks up an envelope that attracts the interest of a dirty cop, who pursues the cyclist throughout the city. Although he has become more popular thanks to Inception and The Dark Knight Rises, it seems as though he’s can’t pull in the crowd for his own movie just yet. Despite good ratings for the film, it came in 7th at the box office in this its opening weekend, bringing in only an estimated $6.3 million.

Taking the top spot once again was the action-star-studded sequel, The Expendables 2, which brought in an estimated $13.5 million, bringing it’s total to $52.4 million.

Also opening this weekend was 2016: Obama’s America, a documentary that examines the question, “If Barack Obama wins a second term, where will we be in 2016?” The film brought in an estimated $6.2 million and is expected to become the most successful conservative documentary to date.
