FILMED IN LAS VEGAS, ‘HANGOVER’ SCORES A HIT AT BOX OFFICE

The Warner Bros. comedy "The Hangover," which was filmed around Las Vegas last year, was expected to have a solid but unspectacular showing at the box office this weekend. Instead, it finished at No. 2 with a $43.3 million debut, barely behind Pixar's smash hit "Up."

"The Hangover" features Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis as pals on a wild Las Vegas bachelor party, during which they misplace the groom (Justin Bartha) and run into all manner of misadventures.
