Summer officially ends this weekend as Labor Day signals that kids are going back to school, and that temperatures will begin dropping.

Today, The Hangover: Part II has gone above and beyond ($118 million) its budget ($80 million), making us wonder if executives are already conjuring up a third sequel. Another sequel this weekend was the lovely Kung Fu Panda 2, which we thought would be No. 1. We were very wrong. The animated film took second place, grossing $48 million during the weekend, and $53.8 million overall. Take a look at where the top ten Box Office films stand…

We also get more heart and soul and less laughs, which for me, was a good thing!
