"The Hangover" is reminiscent of "The Wedding Crasher" from 2005, which is not only a similar sense of humor was rough, but just like "The Hangover" in spite of R-rating early successes celebrated. The Owen Wilson comedy then came to a total box office earnings of 210 million U.S. dollars.

For the animated film "Up" (German title: "Top") passed it on the third weekend with 30.5 million U.S. dollars again only for second place. With a total profit of 187.2 million U.S. dollars is the colorful Pixar rookie but already the dritterfolgreichste movie of the year 2009 - and already more successful than its predecessor, "Wall-E" at the same time a year ago.

The best boot in the U.S. presented "The abduction of Pelham 123" with Denzel Washington and John Travolta in the leading roles out. With 25 million U.S. dollars is enough for the remake of the Walter Mathau-thriller from the year 1974 but only for the third place - but still better than last Denzel Washington thriller "Déjà Vu," with 20.6 million U.S. dollars prior to the start three years was significantly weaker.

Ben Stiller and his awakening to life comrades Museum followed in fourth place. The sequel "Night at the Museum 2" played on the weekend solid 9.6 million U.S. dollars and are positioned so that just before the latest string of U.S. comedian Will Ferrell and his dinosaur adventure comedy "The almost-forgotten world," with 9.1 million U.S. dollars.
