Eddie and Denzel get “Hangovers”

This week, major Hollywood players Denzel Washington, Eddie Murphy, and John Travolta all fell victim to “The Hangover,” and retained it’s number 1 spot for the second week in a row.

The surprise hit of the year also took just 10 days to hit the century mark — $105.4 million, to be exact — setting a new record for an R-rated movie. The old mark of 11 days was set last year by “Sex and the City.” The movie revolves around three guys struggling to remember what happened at a wild bachelor party in Las Vegas the night before. It stars Justin Bartha, Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms, and was directed by Todd Phillips of “Old School.”

Eddie Murphy flopped again, tallying only $5.7 million coming in at #6 in the box office with “Imagine That.” While Washington and Travolta’s “The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3,” came in at a solid #3 with $25 million this week.
