The box office results for Memorial Day Weekend has a blockbuster battle between two heavyweight franchises. Yet The Hangover Part III<\/em> couldn’t muster up a fight against the mighty crew of Fast & Furious 6<\/em>. Here are the 4-day studio estimates:<\/p>\n

1. Fast & Furious ($120 million)<\/p>\n

2. The Hangover Part III ($51.2 million)<\/p>\n

3. Star Trek Into Darkness ($47 million)<\/p>\n

4. Epic ($42.6 million)<\/p>\n

5. Iron Man 3 ($24.3 million)<\/p>\n

6. The Great Gatsby ($17 million)<\/p>\n

7. Mud ($2.4 million)<\/p>\n

8. The Croods ($1.6 million)<\/p>\n

9. 42 ($1.6 million)<\/p>\n

10. Oblivion ($1.1 million)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Analysis<\/p>\n

In what was expected to be the clash of mega-franchises battling for box office supremacy, Fast & Furious 6<\/strong><\/em> took its game to a whole other level. The $160 million production set a personal franchise record with the monster opening along with giving Universal Pictures its biggest 3-day opening ever ($98.5 million). It can also tout the 4th largest Memorial Day weekend all-time, ironically passing The Hangover Part II<\/em> (talk about rubbing salt in the gaping wound).<\/p>\n

As for The Hangover Part III<\/strong><\/em>, it looks as if the aforementioned Part II hurt more than anyone could recall back in 2011. Audiences clearly signaled to Warner Bros. that the sequel was in fact a major buzz kill and chose to ride with other franchises (Iron Man 3<\/em> and Star Trek Into Darkness<\/em> included). Ringing up a production bill of $103 million likely won’t help matter, however, there is a chance that moviegoers didn’t want to overload on flick-watching this holiday weekend, and perhaps this could get a boost during the weekly showtimes. But in the end, this is one of the more disappointing letdowns from a financial point of view. When factoring the Thursday night screenings, the grand total has stalled out at $63 million.<\/p>\n

The lone newbie that was not a sequel came in the form of Twentieth Century Fox’s 3D animated, Epic<\/strong><\/em>. Created for $100 million, this proved to be a nice alternate for the fam-friendly crowd. Next weekend’s performance, and overseas tally, will tell just how “epic” this will be for Fox’s balance sheet.<\/p>\n

Iron Man 3<\/strong><\/em> has soared to $372.4 million on the domestic front; good for 22nd all-time. Worldwide, this has hit $1.1 billion (5th all-time).<\/p>\n

The Croods<\/strong><\/em> currently holds the longest streak in the top ten with 10 weeks. Domestically, it is now up to $179.6 million off a production budget of $135 million.<\/p>\n

This Friday Will Smith will attempt to reclaim his throne as the king of the summer blockbuster with After Earth<\/em>. Also coming to play is the comedic-heist, Now You See Me<\/em>. Reviews will be right here my fellow Shockers!<\/p>\n
