Aniston was annihilated by The Expendables, that conglomerate of aging action stars including Sylvester Stallone (who also directed), Jet Li, Jason Statham and even Gov. Arnold Schwarzenneger in a cameo. In its second week, The Expendables outdrew Aniston more than 2-1, taking in $17.2 million.

Even vampires (Vampires Suck), lottery winners (Lottery Ticket) and fish (Piranha 3D) had more box office appeal than The Switch, which also stars Jason Bateman.
