Major Blockbusters Opening on the Same Weekend1 of 10
Memorial Day is typically a busy movie-going weekend, though it's never been quite like Memorial Day 2013. In a surprising move, Warner Bros. and Universal decided to schedule The Hangover Part III and Fast & Furious 6 - new entries in popular male-oriented franchises - on the same weekend.
While it's unlikely that Fast 6 and Hangover 3 both match their predecessor's opening ($86.2 million and $85.9 million, respectively), it is possible for more than one movie to have a huge debut on the same weekend. Ray Subers, editor of IMDb sister site Box Office Mojo, compiled this list of all the times when two movies opened over $40 million on the same weekend - it's worth noting that most of the time, the two movies target very different audiences. After checking it out, let us know how much money you think Fast 6 and Hangover 3 will gross.
