People really like The Hangover Part II: The film will have grossed $138.1 million over the five-day weekend once Monday wraps up. That’s a record for comedies, as well as the biggest five-day opening gross for an R-rated movie. It led the box office to the most lucrative Memorial Day weekend in film history. Bridesmaids, meanwhile, clocked in at No. 4: Along with The Hangover Part II, the two films bode well for the future of R-rated comedies.
