"THE EXPENDABLES" ON-TOP A SECOND WEEK: TEPID WEEKEND OVERALL

Still from The Expendables 2

It's a tepid weekend at the Box Office, but not enough to stop The Expendables 2 from firing their way back to number one again .. even with a meager $13.5 million. The Action Blockbuster in two weeks has earned a cumulative $51.2 million in North America.

The Bourne Legacy once again finds itself at number two this weekend with $9.3 million and a total $84.9 million banked in three weeks of release - just enough to edge-out ParaNorman in third with $8.5 million in its second week.

Sony Pictures' Premium Rush is one of only a few Films opening this weekend, but could muster only an seventh-place debut with $6.3 million, despite solid reviews on Rotten Tomatoes (76% on the Tomatometer).  This raises some questions about talented Joseph Gordon-Levitt's bankability as a Lead Actor with Looper coming out next month.

2016 Obama's America debuts in eight spot with $6.2  million, impressive for a small-budget Documentary opening in only 1,091 theatres this weekend in the U.S.  The Film asks what America would be like if President Obama were to be re-elected once again; it is said to be anti-Obama.

Meanwhile, Hit and Run, the Comedy starring (and directed by) Dax Sheppard and Wife Kristen Bell debuts in tenth spot with $4.6 million.

FIRST LOOK: KATHRYN BIGELOW'S "ZERO DARK THIRTY"

Still from Zero Dark Thirty

Without a doubt a Best Picture Frontrunner at the Oscars next year, Zero Dark Thirty is Director Kathryn Bigelow's eagerly-awaited follow-up to Best Picture Winner, The Hurt Locker. Its story is intriguing enough centering on the build-up leading to the take-down of Osama bin Laden, certainly not without its share of controversy with several question marks surrounding how Bigelow got her hands on what was confidential information, from President Obama's Administration.

Jessica Chastain, Jennifer Ehle, Joel Edgerton, Jason Clarke, Mark Strong, Chris Pratt and Taylor Kinney (yes, Boyfriend of Lady Gaga), all star in Zero Dark Thirty.

Watch the Teaser Trailer in full below:

OSAMA BIN LADEN CONFIRMED DEAD

President Obama

Okay, this isn't Pop Culture-related but clearly this is important enough. NBC News just broke the news that Osama bin Laden is confirmed dead after U.S. Military Action was taken against him in Pakistan where he was hiding. President Obama is set to make a televised Announcement shortly at approximately 11:15 PM EST.

It is a relief to have a sense of closure in America's ongoing War on Terrorism, almost ten years after 9/11.  I remember clearly what I was doing that day and will always remember this moment as well.
