It's a rare occurrence that a box-office upset occurs, but that's exactly what
happened this weekend.
The Hangover grabbed the number one spot in ticket sales this weekend with $45M, edging out
Up which brought in $44.1M.
Experts in the field are crediting a strong surge in Sunday sales for
The Hangover's success. Wasn't there some sort of fairly major sporting event this Sunday? Basketball, maybe? Why was everyone at the movies? Obviously to see
my new boyfriend. And I can't say I blame them.

Michael Fassbender, who looks hot in pictures and who I guess was in some X-Men movie, was photographed having sex with a fully naked women up against a window in New York's The Standard Hotel yesterday. Unfortunately, it wasn't just some random act of practically public fucking, Michael and his co-star (who I can't identify, can you?) were filming a scene for his new movie, Shame, which also stars Carey Mulligan. I would be shocked if she's partaking in a scene like this, though.
