Hangover Part II Breaks Box Office Records This Memorial Day Weekend (Obvs)
So, exactly how much DID The Hangover Part II make this Memorial Day weekend??
Oh, just a mere $86.5 million for the three-day weekend, which makes the movie the highest grossing live-action comedy for a holiday weekend.
The movie beat out the original record holder, Austin Powers in Goldmember, which made $73.1 million. It's also the second-best opening for an R-rated film, topping The Passion of the Christ.
If you include the full 5-day opening from Thursday, the movie made a massive $137.6 million. The first Hangover made less than half of that amount in its first five days.
WOW!! We knew it was going to be big, but for a movie that didn't get the greatest reviews, this is really impressive.
Here are the top five box office results:
1. The Hangover Part II — $86.5 mil
2. Kung Fu Panda 2 — $48.0 mil
3. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides — $39.3 mil
4. Bridesmaids — $16.4 mil
5. Thor — $9.4 mil
