'Up' Maintains Dominance in Face of Drunks, Dinosaurs

The top movies in the United States last weekend were:

1. Up - $44.2 million, a startlingly large number considering that what appears to be the DVD is coming out soon enough.

2. The Hangover - $43.3 million. Sounds like this is one Hangover you can look forward to! (I'm trying to get quoted in the newspaper ads.) In the case of this Hangover, laughter is the best medicine!

3. Land of the Lost - $19.5 million. This does not bode well for Jack Black is H.R. Pufnstuf.

4. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian - $14.7 million. Do the Tenement Museum next!

5. Star Trek - $8.4 million. I miss the days when this kind of success would warrant a Kirk & Friends Saturday morning cartoon spin-off.

UPDATE: It turns out The Hangover probably made more?
