LOS ANGELES: Raunchy comedy sequel “The Hangover Part II” got off to a roaring start at the North American box office taking in about dollar 31.7 million on its opening day, according to estimates by movie studio Warner Bros on Friday.
The strong early start on Thursday put the movie on track to gross about dollar 110-dollar 125 million domestically for its five day run over the US Memorial Day long weekend, Hollywood box-office watchers said: That’s despite lukewarm reviews for the sequel, which reunites actors Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and Justin Bartha in another mayhem-filled bachelor party.
