The Hangover Part II did more than win the box office this weekend. It set multiple records in the process.

Despite harsh reviews, the comedy earned $86.5 million from Thursday to Sunday, the best three-day weekend ever for a live-action comedy and the second-best opening of all-time for an R-rated film, just falling short of The Matrix Reloaded.

The complete top five from a busy weekend at theaters looks like this:
