The Hangover Part II, director Todd Phillips' follow-up to his 2009 smash hit The Hangover, woke up to a massive opening weekend of €1.48 Million, marking the biggest opening weekend of 2011. The announcement was made today by Josh Berger, President and Managing Director Warner Bros Entertainment UK and Ireland.

I find this surprising and a bit unlikely? Was eveyone not watching football or at Slane on Saturday evening?

I went to see it the night of release, whenever that was. Wednesday? But cinema was only half full really.

Dont find this too suprising given all the hype around it
