You may be surprised.
Pound for pound, the winner among the box office's new movies was Lottery Ticket. Reputation-wise, the loser was Aniston, whose The Switch grossed more per theater than Vampire Sucks, did better than its eighth-place ranking indicates, but that you're going to think bombed anyway.

Ranking-wise, Lottery Ticket placed fourth, with $11.1 million.

Box office news "Lottery Ticket"

The aging warriors of 'The Expendables' fended off five new challengers to maintain the No. 1 spot at the box office for a second week in a row. Of the five newcomers, only 'Vampires Suck' and 'Lottery Ticket' met pre-release expectations.

Even with the addition of 'Piranha 3D' this week, 'Expendables' remained the pulpy thrill machine of choice for moviegoers, earning another $16.5 million, according to studio estimates. Word of mouth for Sylvester Stallone's action hit remained strong, leading to an estimated 10-day total of $64.9 million.

'Vampires Suck' opened at No. 2 as the weekend's top comedy. The 'Twilight' spoof opened wide, on 3,233 screens, taking in an estimated $12.2 million from Friday to Sunday. Added to the two extra days of cash it earned by opening on Wednesday, the movie's total take so far is $18.6 million.

'Vampires' edged out last week's second-place movie, 'Eat Pray Love,' by just $200,000. Coming in third, the Julia Roberts travelogue earned an estimated $12.0 million, for a two-weekend take of $47.1 million.

'Lottery Ticket,' opening in fourth place, did better than expected, earning an estimated $11.1 million. The smallest of the five major new releases this week, opening on just 1,973 screens, the comedy also had the best per-screen average ($5,639) among this week's wide releases.

Dear Ohio

People always quick to say " Bow wow never be in columbus, or i never see em" who said i have to broadcast everytime i go home. When i go back to columbus which is often, i go for family. I chill out to get away from the lime light and spend time with my love ones. If your sitting at home with your homeboys what are you accomplishing? answer... NOTHING! I'm on the road busting my ass not only for myself but for my town. Understand that i do this for ohio. I'm proud to be an ohio'n. I just want to be the walking billboard for all young males and females of ohio and all around the world that want to make it and live out a dream. I was born at Grant hospital in Columbus,ohio. Even though people don't see me as much, its because i'm trying so hard to get us on the map! You can't do that by sitting at home. You have to get out here and work. Ever since Lebron left i feel like its up to me, Kid cudi, Chip the ripper and others to bring Ohio to the main stream. Ohio its our time. When Lottery Ticket drops Aug 20th in every theater across America, Know that's us. Somebody from the town made it, A kid from ohio made it to the mainstream. I want yall to look at me and say.. "well if Bow can do it i can to" Who ever thought a boy from yall city would be filming with Tyler Perry, Forris Whitaker , etc... THATS BIG! im proud to represent OHIO. Come August 20th, we will be officially back on the map. I will step up and continue to do the things that will able us to compete with other big markets. Lets do this collectively. Together we can be on a whole nother level. Buckeye state for life. Cincy Cleveland Columbus Youngstown Toledo Dayton all over lets go chase the dream!

Love
