Our friends over at Gordon and the Whale spotted some outstanding news yesterday. The Hangover broke the record of the highest grossing rated R movie of all time. With that said, they broke yet another record and only a few weeks after the DVD and Blu-Ray hit the markets. The Hangover DVD has become the number one selling comedy DVD of all time, with 8.6 million discs sold, including 1.5 million Blu-rays! That is huge news, for something that came absolutely out of left field, this movie is nothing short of a sleeper hit.
As Rusty points out:
How did this happen? I have a well-thought out, and of course, well-researched theory: because THE HANGOVER is awesome.
This movie made it onto my top 10 of 2009 and I wanted it to be number 1 on my list for many reasons. The main reason would be – it’s freaking hilarious! This movie is a sure laugh, unless you are dead. The re-watch of this film is great also, it doesn’t get worse but better on a second and third watch.
Stay tuned for info on the sequel to The Hangover here on Atomic Popcorn. Let us know in the comments below how you feel about this news, or even if you have seen this film.
