"Fast & Furious 6" had no competition from "The Hangover Part III" at the box office this weekend.
That's a surprise considering this was supposed to be the first real box-office showdown of the summer.
While "Fast 6" revved toward $100 million in a three-day weekend, "The Hangover" crew had a tough time grossing little more than $40 million over an extended four-day weekend.
Just how bad is that?
Well, it's $2 million less than the opening weekend of the first "Hangover" film.
Also, "The Great Gatsby," which originally had poor critiques, earned nearly $10 million more than "The Hangover Part III" opening weekend.
Expectations for "The Hangover Part III" were to bring in near $100 million opening weekend.
Instead, it fell pretty flat.
How'd the rest of the box office fare?
Fantastic. Overall, this weekend was the largest Memorial Day Weekend ever with $323 million in ticket sales.
DreamWorks Animation released new film "Epic" and while it didn't quite earn numbers like "The Croods" opening weekend, it performed well and should continue to do so with no competition from other children's films until Disney's "Monsters University" roars into theaters June 21.
Out of the top ten this week is Tyler Perry's "Peeples" which fell seven notches after dropping out of more than 1,500 theaters in week three. The film has earned $8.8 million to date and cost an estimated $15 million to produce.
Here are this weekend's winners and losers at the box office:
10. "Oblivion" rounds out the top ten with $815,000. The Tom Cruise film has earned $266.8 million in six weeks worldwide. Universal was smart to put this film out before the onslaught of all the May films because it's been able to have longevity at theaters.
9. DreamWorks Animation now has two films in the top ten. "The Croods" added another $1.2 million this weekend to its $562 million worldwide haul.

6. With three new releases out, "The Great Gatsby" falls three spots this week earning $13.7 million. The film just became director Baz Luhrmann's first film to cross $100 million domestically. Overseas, the film is earning a little bit less to bring its total to $200 million worldwide.
