Up held on to the top spot at the box office for the second week in a row with an estimated $44.2 million, bringing its 10-day total to $137 million. And though it came in in second place, The Hangover exceeded expectations with a $42.3 million gross, making it the first comedy hit of the summer. The movie, about three groomsmen who try to recall what happened to them during a drunken Las Vegas night, opened higher than previous films of its genre.
