Hangover 2 Expected to Reach $100 Million

The Hangover Part II got off to a rip-roaring start in midnight shows, grossing a whopping $10.4 million from roughly 2,600 theaters for Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures.

Today, the raunchy comedy moves into a total of 3,615 theaters, the widest opening ever for an R-rated title.

Hangover 2 is expected to be the first movie of 2011 to cross the $100 million mark in its domestic debut. It’s got the advantage of a five-day opening because of the long Memorial Day weekend, coupled by going out on Thursday.


If tracking is right, the sequel could gross as much as $110 million to $120 million in its five-day launch, although Warner is being more conservative, considering how soft the marketplace has been.
