Weekend Box Office: The Hangover or Up?

Depending on who you ask, we have two different films taking the number one spot. According to BoxOfficeMojo Up is this weekends box office winner, but according to Variety, The Hangover managed to sneak past Up by a mere $500,000. Either way, this weeks numbers show that word of mouth will be keeping Up in the theaters for a while, that all you sickos out there heard about Zach Galifianakis‘ antics and had to see the movie this Sunday, and that not many of your care about Will Ferrell being in a Land of the Lost remake, in fact you prefer him on “Men Vs. Wild.”

Check out this weekends box office numbers below…
