Box Office Wrapup: The Hangover edges out Up for top spot


by Gitesh Pandya

UPDATE:
It looks like The Hangover actually ended up edging out Up for the top spot at the box office this weekend! Contrary to previous estimates, the box office actuals reveal that The Hangover brought in just under $45 million while Pixar's Up raked in just over $44 million in its second week of release. Estimates had Up at $44.2 million and The Hangover at $43.3 million. Will Ferrell's latest, Land of the Lost also came in a little lower than the weekend estimates predicted, earning $18.8 million, but the rest of the top 12 were fairly accurate. It's not often that a movie will take the box office crown on the last day, but it was very close this weekend between the top two, and it made for an exciting race.
