I loved both UP and The Hangover. 2 summer films that actually delivered (Trek too). Glad to see both are doing well.

Go UP! Go Pixar!
Pixar films are cinematic gold!
Dreamworks flicks are pure pop trash!
Bwahahahahaha!!!

Annoying. EW needs to really stop prematurely posting Box Office results until the final numbers are in. Just wait till Monday, guys.

Both UP and Hangover were superb films. Kudos to Hangover for opening beyond projections, and I think the guys at Pixar are not too distraught. I think their hopes going into the weekend was for the movie to display strong legs-which it emphatically did by sliding only a mere 35%. Both studios have reason to celebrate. Word of mouth should carry Hangover to potentially 200 million, while word of mouth for UP has already hit the ground running by putting it in prime position to finish around 275-300 million. Both films were excellent and I’m tremendously pleased that both are doing well. For once, good films are being met great success at the box office.

they both probably sold the same amount of tickets. only 1500 screens nationwide had UP in 3D, the majority of the s9000 or so screens it’s on is in 2D

Hey MK… Since Up sold most of it’s tickets in the higher priced 3-D market, The Hangover I’m sure sold more tickets overall… just sayin.

Actually if you average for the fact that most of UP’s tickets were at “children’s price” it probably did far better than Hangover…just sayin’
