This morning after was very good to The Hangover.

When the box-office weekend's final numbers came in today, the blurry-eyed comedy ended up on top with $45 million, Exhibitor Relations reported, up more than $1.5 million over Sunday's estimate.

Up, which had been pegged for a repeat No. 1 performance, slipped to second with a final tally of $44.1 million.

Outside of the flip-flopped positions, the bottom line remained the same: The Hangover was big, Up was big, and Land of the Lost wasn't.

What Land of the Lost was: smaller than estimated, coming in at $18.8 million, down from an estimated $19.5 million.
