The Hangover Hangs Over The Weekend Box Office
Right, first an admission. The Hangover is the top movie at the weekend box office this week. That’s not the admission. The admission is that The Hangover was also the top movie at the weekend box office last week as well. But we said that it was beaten by Up because the numbers were quite close and nobody worked it out properly for a few days. So sorry.
Anyway, The Hangover is the top movie at the US weekend box office this week. Unless there’s been another mistake and really it’s Up. Or Drag Me To Hell. Or ET. Whatever.
Up Beats Off Will Ferrell At The Weekend Box Office
In these days of giant fighting space robots, it's rare for a movie to top the weekend box office for more than a week. But Up's done it. Pixar's heartwarming tale of a little old man who becomes so insane with indescribable grief that he literally has to leave the face of the Earth has remained number one at the US weekend box office.
See Dreamworks? This is how you sell a cartoon. Now make sure that Kung Fu Panda 2 ends with the panda developing a harrowing alcohol dependency, and be quick about it. There's money to be made!
Up Goes Up The Weekend Box Office (See What We Did There?)
It’s the summer. And that means that, as weekend box office law states, all films released now must be angry, loud and full of massive robots punching each other. But weekend box office law has another rule for the summer - that Pixar gets to release a new movie, and it’ll make all the other films look a bit silly in comparison. And this year that film is Up, the new US weekend box office number one.
What made Up so popular? Was it the groundbreaking technological accomplishments? The mature storytelling? No, it was all the balloons. Balloons are fun. Wheeeee!

Pixar's cleverly titled Up is the tale of a pissed off 78-year-old who dreams of exploring the globe by using his house as flying ship. When
Carl Fredricksen finally decides to eject from his pointless existence, he finds an eight-year-old stowaway named
Russell hanging out on the porch.
