The Hangover Upsets Up at the Box Office
The estimates released on Sunday had Up in the number one spot with $44.2 million and The Hangover just behind in second place with an estimated $43.3 million. Now it seems that a strong Sunday showing for The Hangover has pushed its tally to $45 million, overtaking Up's final gross of what was said to be between $44.3 to $44.4 million.
It is a rather rare feat for the top two films to switch spots when the official Monday numbers are released. Warner Bros. initially estimated The Hangover had made $11.9 million on Sunday, while it seems that it in fact made more than $13 million.
The Hangover was released June 5th, 2009 and stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha, Heather Graham, Sasha Barrese, Jeffrey Tambor, Ken Jeong. The film is directed by Todd Phillips.

Up is a piece of sh*t. There still hasn't been a movie this summer that's been number one for two weeks.

Surprising, though it only beat "Up" by either $700,000 or $600,000. A very slim win either way.

Up had the top spot already, so it's cool to know The Hangover is on the top spot now. I still think Up's better, though Hangover was still good.
