Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Expendables 4 domestically ends with dismal numbers and heavy losses after a disappointing run at the box office. The fourth installment in the popular legacy-hero Expendables film series sees the mercenary group jet off to Libya to prevent another dangerous mercenary, Suarto Rahmat, from stealing nuclear warheads for a mysterious terrorist and the film’s main antagonist.
The critical reception to The Expendables 4 has largely been negative and this has been reflected in the movie’s box office performance. After an initial projection of $15–17 million from its opening weekend domestically, the movie only managed a lowly $8 million, falling behind movies like The Nun II. Now, according to BoxOfficeMojo, the movie’s final week numbers at the theaters aren’t very impressive either, with the film's final gross coming in at only $16 million.
Why Did The Expendables 4 Flop At The Box Office? The Expendables 4 has the worst reviews of The Expendables film series. While The Expendables series over the years haven’t exactly been critically acclaimed, the fourth movie in the installment set a new low for the franchise. According to the review aggregator website RottenTomatoes, the movie is rated 14% with an average rating of 3.5/10.
One of the major reasons why The Expendables 4 wasn’t well received was because of its lack of innovation and fresh ideas. After three movies of wild adventures and explosions, the mercenary group had started to feel almost invincible, and the movie no longer gave any sense of a real threat. The brains behind the franchise just looked to rehash the same old ideas without particularly giving moviegoers anything new or exciting to experience.
Another reason why The Expendables 4 did poorly was because many of the classic names and faces that fans had gotten used to were not present in this latest installment. One of The Expendables' major appeal had always been its star-studded action cast who are tailored for action movies of this kind.
