The hangover part ii Movie That's the best three-day weekend ever for a live-action comedy, beating "Austin Powers in Goldmember's" $73.1 million debut. It's also the second-best opening for an R-rated film, topping "The Passion of the Christ" but falling short of "The Matrix Reloaded.The $80 million sequel, produced by Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, is now on pace to finish the four-day holiday weekend with about $106 million. Throw in its massive $31.6 million opening on Thursday, and.
The Hangover Part II" is looking at an estimated five-day total of $137.6 million. By comparison, the original "Hangover" made less than half that amount, grabbing $59.2 million its first five days. DreamWorks Animation's "Kung Fu Panda 2" is off to a mildly disappointing start, as the animated martial-arts comedy grossed $48 million over the three-day weekend. That's a step down from the 2008 original, which debuted to $60.2 million (and did so without the benefit of 3-D surcharges). Screenings in 3-D accounted for only 45 percent of "Panda's" revenue, tying "Despicable Me" for the lowest 3-D percentage for a major release since the start of 2009.
(It should be noted that "Panda's" 3-D figure would have been stronger had the film also played on IMAX 3D screens) The $150 million sequel, which is being distributed by Paramount, should tally $62 million for the four-day holiday weekend, bringing its five-day total to about $68 million. In third place, "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" dropped 56 percent for a three-day weekend gross of $39.3 million. "Bridesmaids" slipped only 22 percent for $16.4 million, which is particularly impressive considering that the R-rated comedy had to compete with "The Hangover Part II." And in fifth, "Thor" fell 39 percent for $9.4 million.
