LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sylvester Stallone and his beefy buddies have muscled their way to the top of the weekend box office.
Stallone's action hero roundup "The Expendables 2" debuted at No.1 with $28.8 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. That's down from the $34.8 million start for "The Expendables" two years ago.
The Lionsgate sequel elbowed out another action tale as Universals "The Bourne Legacy" fell to No. 2 in its second weekend with
$17 million. That was a steep 55 percent drop from its $38.1 million opening weekend, though the movie's domestic total climbed to a solid $69.6 million.
Focus Features' animated comedy "ParaNorman," about a boy leading the fight against zombies that rise from the grave, was No. 3 with $14 million.
Since the first weekend of May, revenues total $3.9 billion, down 5 percent from last summer's, when Hollywood finished with an all-time high of $4.4 billion.
HOROSCOPES
Because the stars know things we don't.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Arlene (married 21-4-7) You know how to work well with others, yet you prefer to remain the dominating influence. You might believe a situation is evolving in this same manner. Don't be surprised if the other party follows through on his or her need to assume control. Tonight: Sort through the possibilities, then decide.
Taurus (Apri 20-May 20)
Pace yourself, and try not to react to a somewhat surprising event or piece of news. Give yourself time to adjust and internalize the information at hand. Schedule a stressbuster if possible. You will want to indulge a loved one. Tonight: Your treat.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Allow your imagination to infuse relationships and events with more excitement or intrigue. You tend to add interest and a new dimension to any project. Others appreciate your originality and will ask for your feedback. Tonight: Add more fun to a situation.
You could see a personal matter quite differently from others -- so much so that you might feel unsure of certain past judgments. In the next few weeks, you could revisit past decisions and choose to change them. It is important to remain confident. Tonight: Happily head home.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Listen well, and understand what is going on behind someone's words. You grasp more than you are willing to deal with right now; however, it does serve you well to get to the root of an issue. Much more caring flows between you and someone else as a result. Tonight: Talk up a storm.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Be sensitive to your budget. You might want to deal with a loved one differently. You do not always have to say "thank you" in a materialistic manner. Consider your other options. You might want to see where a friend is coming from. Listening does not necessarily mean you agree. Tonight: Maintain your budget.
You are all smiles. The unexpected excitement that a quirky friend generates helps keep your interest. Understand what is going on behind this person's erratic behavior. Listen to your inner voice and let it guide you. Avoid a difficult family member. Tonight: As you like.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Realize what is going on behind the scenes. What is being expressed openly might be hiding a different agenda or problem. Also, evaluate your own actions in a difficult situation. Are you being as clear as possible? Tonight: Not to be found.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.21)
You are in a position to transform or walk away from a difficult situation. A meeting could prove to be instrumental. Excellent communication, combined with high energy and drive, allows you to start down the path to realizing a certain desire. Tonight: Find your pals.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Take charge, and understand that others might be slightly resentful or envious of your leadership abilities; they wish they could handle problems as effectively as you do. Be gracious, and do not cop an attitude. Still, don't indulge others too much. Tonight: In the limelim.
Aguarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Reach out for someone at a distance. The unexpected plays a role in your plans. There could be miscommunication out of the blue. Curb a tendency to go to extremes or be reactive. Listen to news with a grain of salt. Tonight: Act on some fun idea that has been on the back burner.
A partnership or several key relationships dominate your plans and ideas. You could be overwhelmed by everything you have to do. Share some of the burden by asking for help. Let others pitch in. You will be much happier with a lighter load. Tonight: Indulge a roommate or family member.

Men vie for top model ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — After more than 40 continuous years on the air, "The Price Is Right" is ready for a major change. It's starting a search for its first ever male showcase model.
That's right men finally will have a chance to wear tight clothing and display floor waxes, pool tables and Jet Skis alongside women.
As in the rest of the competition shows on the air, the contestants will have to participate in a series of modeling related challenges and in each episode one will be eliminated by the panel of judges. Who can showcase that refrigerator best?
The hunt for the show's first male model will take the form of a competition Web series that will run on PriceisRight.com and the show's YouTube channel in late September.
Instead of leaving just one winner, the Web series will produce six finalists. Then it's up to viewers to determine the winner. The winner of that online vote will earn a weeklong stint modeling on the game show starting Oct. 15.
Currently, the show has four female models showing off the prizes for host Drew Carev.
