Two lawsuits against Warner Bros. involving this summer’s blockbuster hit ‘The Hangover Part II’ have been dropped.
Michael Alan Rubin, the writer who claimed that the film was based on his autobiographical screenplay, Mickey and Kirin, has voluntarily dropped his lawsuit, according to court documents.
Stuntman Scott McLean, who worked for Ed Helms, has also reconsidered seeking legal compensation for an injury he suffered during a car collision on set. Mclean also chose to do so voluntarily.
This makes three lawsuit against The Hangover Part II that has been resolved this year, the first of which was over the Mike Tyson-style face tattoo Helms’ character sported in the film.
The Hangover Part II had the fourth most profitable box office of 2011. Once again the Warner Bros. can breath a sigh of relief that their spoils won’t be leached off by someone trying to get a piece that pot.
