Adults flocked to see The Hangover over the weekend, helping the comedy earn an estimated $43.3 million. However, it wasn't quite enough to bump Pixar's family-friendly movie, Up, out of the top spot with its estimated $44.2 million. Despite coming in second place, The Hangover's debut far exceeded expectations and is "the third best opening ever for an R-rated comedy."

Up, Pixar's box office hit, faces some competition this weekend. Family movies are often super successful, so Will Ferrell's Land of the Lost has a shot at winning the box office. Then again, there could be plenty of adults who've seen Up and now have a healthy appetite for some more adult entertainment, like The Hangover.

Before Wall-E hit theaters last year I asked you what your favorite Pixar movie was, and at that time there were eight to choose from (and Finding Nemo won!). Now with Wall-E having won all kinds of awards and Up being such a smash hit with audiences of all ages, I wonder if you'd change your vote.
What do you think?

As many of you likely discovered over the weekend, Pixar's new blockbuster Up is a total tearjerker. Who would have thought a funny-looking movie about a grumpy old man, talking dogs, and an inquisitive little kid could make me bawl like a baby?!
I was wondering how little kids are handling some of the sad scenes in Up, and then I remembered that animated movies have been making kids (including me) cry for years now.

The release of Pixar's Up has really put me in an animated mood. Ha! Get it?

I got the chance to screen Up along with my pals, BuzzSugar and lilsugar — after all, the movie included the super cute Dug, so I was there. Without giving any major plot points away, my favorite things — the "cone of shame," a walker's tennis ball used for fetch, and the collar translator for stream-of-consciousness pup voice — outweighed the negatives (some birdie abuse, "bad dogs," and one scary scene for animal lovers). All in all, the 3D graphics were stunning, and it's an animated film, so no creatures were actually harmed in the making!
