“The Hangover” hung around the top spot in domestic rankings for the second straight weekend, ringing up an estimated $33.4 million in the first repeat boxoffice win of the summer.
Disney/Pixar’s “Up” — which had looked like it pulled off the same feat the prior session until final data put it in second place — was a repeat silver-medalist, with $30.5 million in the latest weekend face-off between the family-oriented animated feature and the chart-topping R-rated comedy from Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures.

The Hangover hit the jackpot over the weekend, narrowly edging out Up for the top spot. The ribald comedy had been projected to trail the Pixar adventure in Sunday’s studio estimates, but was revised upward once actual grosses poured in. Hangover’s Friday dominance combined with a better-than-expected Sunday haul cinched its position, despite Up soaring past it on Saturday as well as being marginally ahead on Sunday. Both pictures were highly successful for their genres and wound up less than two percent apart. Less fortunate was Land of the Lost, which debuted at a distant third. The weekend as a whole came in at $165.5 million, off six percent from the same period last year when Kung Fu Panda opened. Read More »
