'Hangover' tops box office again

By Adnan Tezer Jun 15, 2009, 19:40 GMT

Warner Bros.’ "The Hangover" and Disney-Pixar’s "Up" again topped the domestic box office weekend, easily beating the debut of "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3."

According to Variety, "Hangover" dipped just 26% to an estimated $33.4 million for a total of $105.3 million in its first 10 days.

"Up" fell 31% in its third weekend to an estimated $30.5 million for a total of $187.2 million — the second-best domestic gross of any summer film, after Paramount’s "Star Trek."

Coming in third was Tony Scott’s "Pelham," starring Denzel Washington and John Travolta. The remake of the 1974 action drama starring Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw opened to a solid $25 million.

And Eddie Murphy’s bad streak continued when his family film "Imagine That" came in below expectations with just $5.7 million. The Paramount film, which cost $55 million to produce, placed No. 6. "Imagine" is Murphy’s first movie since last summer’s "Meet Dave," which grossed only $11.8 million in its run.

Domestically, Fox’s "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" placed No. 4, declining 34% to an estimated $9.6 million for a domestic total of $143.4 million and worldwide total of $319.5 million.

"Land of the Lost" placed No. 5 in its second weekend, declining 31% to an estimated $9.2 million for a disappointing total of $35 million.
