This weekend’s Box Office had some pretty big competition. You had the sequels to Fast & Furious and The Hangover; plus an animated kids movie in, Epic. It’s a bit of a surprise to see that the sixth entry in the Fast & the Furious series take the top spot. Bringing in $98mil dollars, the Vin Diesel and Rock combination has made it the #1 film in the franchise as well.
Hangover III and Epic brought in $42mil and $34mil respectively, making the total Box Office earnings the biggest Memorial Day weekend of all time.
| Title | Weekend | Total | |
| 1. | Fast & Furious 6 | $98,528,000 | $98.5 |
| 2. | The Hangover III | $42,400,000 | $54.2 |
| 3. | Star Trek Into Darkness | $38,000,000 | $146.8 |

Next week, After Earth will be coming to theaters and it’ll be interesting to see how it turns out. I’m not personally looking forward to it, and I hope that Fast & Furious 6 is #1 again. Stay Tuned to DFAT for the next Weekend Roundup!
