Just about two weeks after 'The Expendables 3' was leaked online, the film's distributor, Lions Gate Entertainment, has won an injunction aimed to stop the circulation of the stolen copy on the Web. A U.S. District Judge extended a temporary restraining order prohibiting six Web sites from linking or hosting the film to an injunction after the sites did not respond. The downloads stand to potentially hurt Lions Gate at the box office when 'The Expendables 3' opens on August 15. The company said the two previous films in the Expendables franchise made more than $575 million in worldwide box office revenues.
