'The Hangover' has taken Hollywood by storm to become the most profitable film this summer. The Todd Phillips comedy has scored two straight weekends at the number 1. What is it about this movie that is making customers come back for more.? Answer: It's a great movie in a summer filled with disappointing sequels and reboots. 'The Hangover' is an original comedy that doesn't have any real movie stars. Don't take my word for it check out the numbers on movies not reaching their expectations and causing studio executives to scratch their heads.
Angels and Demons
Budget: $150 Million
Actual Earned: $123 Million
Terminator Salvation:
Budget: $200 Million
Actual Earned: $113 Million
Land of the Lost
Budget: $100 Million
Actual Earned: $34 Million
Imagine That
Budget: $55 Million
Actual Earned: $5 Million
The Hangover
Budget: $35 Million
Actual Earned: $105 Million
Maybe it's time to stop rebooting and making sequels? Perhaps studios should stop giving Eddie Murphy and Will Ferrell $20 Million a moive until they produce a hit? With next week not providing a guaranteed hit, look for 'The Hangover' and 'Up' to keep up the big money. For now enjoy the music video for 'Stu's Song.'
