Weekend Box Office Results for May 27-30, 2011

Weekend Box Office Results for May 27-30, 2011

Hangover II had the fourth-best Memorial Day weekend of all time (highest in the past three years), and Panda II finished 11th overall and third-best of the past three years.

Hangover II narrowly missed the all-time record for the best three-day weekend for an R-rated movie. It finished second in that category, and became the best R-rated COMEDY, unless you consider Matrix Reloaded a comedy, which is not an unreasonable position. Let's just say H II was the top INTENTIONAL comedy. It broke the R-rated comedy record by a mile. Sex and the City, which held the record, took in $57 million in three days, while H II took in $86m despite having some of the weekend's revenues siphoned off by an early opening and a Monday holiday.
