Monday Morning Box Office Report: Up Parties Harder Than The Hangover
Another huge weekend for Pixar’s Up put it just ahead of the R-rated comedy The Hangover in order to claim its second box office title in a row. Up dropped just 35% from last week, while The Hangover was a massive hit, earning $43 million to become the second highest opening for an R-rated comedy ever (behind last year’s Sex and the City: The Movie). Land of the Lost was a distant third at the box office; the Will Ferrell comedy bombed pretty hard, earning back just $19 million of its reported $100 million budget. Nia Vardalos’s My Life in Ruins had a weak opening as well, earning just $3.2 million, good enough for the #9 spot. Night at the Museum 2 and Star Trek rounded out the top 5.
1. Up — $44.2M
2. The Hangover — $43.3M
3. Land of the Lost — $19.5M
4. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian — $14.7M
5. Star Trek — $8.4M
6. Terminator Salvation — $8.18M
7. Drag Me to Hell — $7.34M
8. Angels & Demons — $6.5M
9. My Life in Ruins — $3.23M
10. Dance Flick — $2M
Update: According to Variety, The Hangover actually beat Up based on Sunday’s final numbers. Crazy!

Sucks that Drag Me To Hell isn’t doing that well. And Terminator which I saw yesterday and quite enjoyed.
