‘Wedding Crashers’ (2005)
Domestic Gross: $209.2 million
“The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” “Brokeback Mountain,” and “Saw II” were all major R-rated releases in 2005, but “Wedding Crashers” easily outperformed them all at the box office. This comedy starred Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as two ruthless bachelors who routinely disrupted strangers’ weddings to sleep with women. “Wedding Crashers” is the second-highest-grossing film with a wedding as its main plot, behind only “Bridesmaids” and “Mamma Mia!” according to Box Office Mojo.
