This is one of the most popular arguments and debates in Hollywood right now. “The A-Team” remake vs. “The Expendables”, which film will make the most money in the box office this summer? Some of you may wonder what my thoughts are on this. What do I think will win in the box-office? Honestly, this answer may shock some of you. Knowing that I’m a huge fan of Sylvester Stallone and tough guy action stars…sorry to say…but I’m gonna go with…

The A-Team…

Yes, that’s right. I said it. “The A-Team” will be more successful than “The Expendables”. “The Expendables” will do well in the box office, but they won’t do great. “The Expendables” will never be as big as “Avatar” or the “Dark Knight” if that’s what everyone is hoping. NO fucking way. I think “The Expendables” will do average in the box office just like the last “Rocky” and “Rambo” did average.

Why would the “A-Team” be more successful? Simply because, the original “A-Team” series was such a popular hit on TV back in those days. “The A-Team” movie would be something for the entire family to watch, while the “Expendables” would have an audience mostly of 20-30 something colleged aged males who loves action movies and tough guys. “The A-Team” is a family action film. See my point? “The A-Team” would be a huge box office money maker for many reasons. Not only it would be a family action film, it seems that remakes are hits these days. “The A-Team” would be a movie that a lot of women would see just to see Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper play in the film.

Why would the “Expendables” fail? Simply because, not many people want to see old washed up muscle has beens all in one movie. The only people that do want to see the film is their fellow bodybuilders who aren’t famous, young college guys, and the few action movie fans that are left around. Plus, I don’t think a lot of people would pay just to see Sly, Arnie and Bruce in a really small scene when everyone wants to see them throughout the entire movie.

I’m betting my money that the A-Team will do very good. I look forward to seeing both films, don’t get me wrong. Don’t expect Stallone to be successful with this one. Honestly, the plot and the acting in the “Expendables” looks kinda silly when the “A-Team” looks more interesting. I’ve always been a huge “A-Team” fan my whole life so of course, I will see this one in theater too. The only reason, “The Expendables” will make some bucks is because of all them stars in one movie. I’m very sure “The Expendables” would bomb terribly if Sly hired a cast full of unknown actors, instead of a movie full of icons.
