Box Office: 'Dumb and Dumber To' Leads The Way With Strong $38.1 Million

Jim Carrey is back on top.

The comedian has struggled at the box office in recent years, suffering through the indignity of “Mr. Popper’s Penguins” and “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone,”  but by revisiting one of his most beloved comedies two decades after it hit screens, Carrey has scored his biggest hit in years with “Dumb and Dumber To.” The cinematic adventures of a pair of dim bulbs shone brightly at the box office this weekend, picking up an estimated $38.1 million across 3,154 locations.

Despite the strong showing, “Dumb and Dumber To” had to fight for first place with last weekend’s champ, “Big Hero 6,” which soared past the $100 million mark.  The Disney film fell a meager 36% from its opening, picking up $36 million across 3,773 screens. Its total stands at $111.6 million after two weeks.
