Overall, the Box Office was down 0.1% on last weekend's total gross.

The top two films battled it out over the weekend without a clear winner in site until now and the difference ended up only being quite small. The number one film for the weekend is the surprise break out comedy hit THE HANGOVER which amassed a huge $44.9M over three days. Nobody expected this film to be this big even with its great reception by audiences and critics alike. The is a huge win for distributor Warner Brothers as the film had a tiny budget of around $20M and has a cast of nobodies.

Disney/Pixar's UP landed in second place with a fantastic second weekend gross of $44.1M, dropping only 35% from last weekend. The film is a big hit for its makers, with a current domestic gross of $137.2M. It would seem Disney/Pixar can do no wrong, and they have firmly entrenched themselves with audiences as the producers of high quality animated product.

High quality product cannot be used as a description for the expensive disaster that is LAND OF THE LOST, which earned an average $18.8M over the weekend. Will Ferrell and company do not look too good right now as audiences have not been kind to this film, and it will disappear very quickly over the coming weeks.

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: BATTLE OF THE SMITHSONIAN manages to hang on with $14.6M this weekend, having a small percentage drop of 39.9% from last weekend. This film is underperforming, having only earned $127M against its $150M budget. The likelihood is that it will not make its budget back domestically.

This year's number one film STAR TREK is still cruising along nicely, earning a solid $8.3M in its fifth week of release to take its domestic box office tally to $222M. No other Star Trek film has performed as well, or been as well received by critics and audiences. Domestic box office should reach $250M by the end of its run. The film has also earned another $100M in overseas markets.

Going from the best performing film of the year to the worst, TERMINATOR SALVATION is rapidly running out of steam after starting out of the gate with a whimper. The film earned $8.2M over the weekend and has finally crossed the $100M barrier, but this gross can look like nothing else other than a disaster when you consider it cost $200M to produce. Overseas grosses do not help either with the film having only earned an additional $25M in other territories.

The only other new opener this weekend is the totally glanced over Nia Vardalos film MY LIFE IN RUINS which earned a tiny $3.2M. The attempt to cash in on her big hit MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING is perhaps five years too late, and audiences have not bothered to give this film the time of day.

The US Box Office took in a total of $160,780,785 for the whole of the weekend 5-7 June 2009.
