Fast & Furious 6 Reigns, Hangover Slumped Over In Record Breaking Box Office Weekend

This was the biggest Memorial Day box office weekend ever, with the Fast & Furious franchise showing no signs of fatigue. The sixth in the series took in more than 100 million, (and likely more than 120 million be the weekend’s end! The big surprise? The Hangover 3, which is apparently getting tired for movie-goers.
