The R-rated comedy about a bachelor party gone awry takes in $43.3 million at the box office, double the take of the Will Ferrell film. ‘Up’ claims the top spot for the second straight week.
Who would have guessed that an R-rated comedy about a bachelor party gone awry would more than double the opening of a PG-13 flick based on a well-known TV show and starring Will Ferrell?
Almost nobody in Hollywood until this weekend, when Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures’ “The Hangover” surpassed all expectations at the box office by grossing $43.3 million, while Universal Pictures and Relativity Media’s “Land of the Lost” sold an anemic $19.5 million worth of tickets, according to studio estimates.
