And what a dubious honor it is. Vampires Suck, the latest anti-comedy from the Date Movie brain trust, managed to just barely eke out a win over Sly's crew of dudes in The Expendables, though they may yet win the weekend. Meanwhile, the rest of the five films that opened last night were scattered throughout the rather wan box office receipts, with Jennifer Aniston's The Switch, thudding into eighth place. Your Friday Box Office is here.
