And meanwhile not a whole lot of people were making the return trip to Pandora as Avatar ‘s re-release landed outside the top ten. Grab your crucifix and your favorite porkpie hat, your weekend receipts are here.

Sorry ladies: this weekend at the box office is all about the men. The Expendables — Sylvester Stallone’s paean to the power of protein shakes — crashed to the top of the charts on Friday night, besting newcomers Eat, Pray, Love and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World with ease. Of the latter film: Yikes. Universal will have to find a cheat code to keep Edgar Wright’s whizbang graphic novel adaptation out of fifth place. Click ahead for the top-five.

Hoo boy: Joel Schumacher’s slick, abysmally reviewed privileged-teen drama Twelve earned an estimated $107,000 over its opening weekend — averaging out to a lower-than-anybody-expected average of $463 per screen. (And that figure’s on the high side; another analyst is calling it for $90,000, or $380 per screen.) It’s by far the worst opening of Schumacher’s career. Among films over-narrated by Kiefer Sutherland, meanwhile, it rests comfortably as No. 1 all-time. [ Box Office Mojo ]

Early estimates for The Sorcerer’s Apprentice ‘s opening day are in, and they could most charitably be called “alarming”: The Nicolas Cage fantasy drew $3.7 million on 3,385 screens in the U.S. and Canada, setting some five-day projections below $30 million. That would result in the second straight Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer underperformer after Prince of Persia . Clearly it needed a better iPhone app . [ Deadline ]

Not once in 2009 did a movie lead the box office for three or more straight weeks. Here in 2010, though, that trick has been turned by Avatar , Alice in Wonderland and now Shrek Forever After — the animated sequel easily held off newcomers Get Him to the Greek and Killers to retain the top spot for a third straight week. And while other new releases Marmaduke and Splice failed to crack the top-ten, the biggest loser of the weekend was — once again — MacGruber : The comedy shed over 2,300 screens and dropped 93.9 percent in its third week. Yikes squared. Say a prayer for Will Forte and click ahead for some weekend receipts.

When is an animated movie that opens with $71 million — thus making it one of the four best animated openings in history — considered a humongous disappointment? When it’s Shrek Forever After . The supposed final chapter in the Dreamworks Animation smash series easily topped the box office over the weekend, but wound up opening to $50 million less than Shrek The Third did just three years ago. Guess people really didn’t like that one, huh? Dig up your most dated cultural reference and get ready for some weekend receipts.
