The Box-Office Top Five

#1 "The Hangover" ($33.4 million)
#2 "Up" ($30.5 million)
#3 "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3" ($25 million)
#4 "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" ($9.6 million)
#5 "Land of the Lost" ($9.15 million)

Weekend audiences preferred to revisit Las Vegas and a fantastical South America over a remade ride on the subway. After last weekend's tight race and box-office recount, the boys of "The Hangover" kept the party going, and stayed high above the rest with $33.4 million. The R-rated comedy is the first film of summer 2009 to stay at #1 for two weeks straight, and exceeded Warner Bros.' wildest expectations by earning $105 million in just 10 days. Who says no one leaves Las Vegas a winner?

Midnight screenings give pic an early start

Midnight screenings of "Terminator Salvation" have brought in an estimated $3 million in an early start to the Memorial Day weekend box office.

Warner Bros. didn't disclose how many theaters offered the midnight shows. Studio's launching the fourth "Terminator" today at 3,580 playdates domestically, then adding 50 venues on Friday.

Two weekends ago, 20th Century Fox's "Wolverine" grossed nearly $5 million in more than 1,595 midnight runs. And in March, Warner's "Watchmen" grossed $4.6 million in the midnight shows.

Fox's "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" launches Friday at 4,095 domestic runs. Box office trackers believe "Terminator" will top the holiday frame with strong support among males while "Smithsonian" provides serious competition as the only family pic in the marketplace.

Paramount opens the spoof "Dance Flick" on Friday at about 2,450 theaters.
