Box-Office: DUMB AND DUMBER TO Jim Carrey's Biggest Opener Since 2003's BRUCE ALMIGHTY

Jim Carrey has a lot to celebrate because his newest film, the sequel "Dumb and Dumber To" is the No. 1 movie at the box-office this week with a 3-day gross of $38.1 million. This is Carrey's first No.1 movie since 2003's "Bruce Almighty", although not his highest grossing opening weekend. Of all the films in Carrey's resume, "Dumb and Dumber To"s debut ranks fifth. Close behind the comedy sequel is Disney's "Big Hero 6" with a strong $36 million, a 35% drop from last week. Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" is also holding well in third place with $29 million over the weekend. The sci-fi epic's strongest results, however, are overseas, with a total gross of $224 million which adds to a global sum of $321 million in 10 days.

Behind all the heavy hitters lies the smaller romantic drama "Beyond the Lights", which placed fourth with $6.5 million, a disappointment since initial projections looked somewhat better. However, the film only cost $7 million to make, so it isn't a total loss.

A significant event of this week's box-office is the impressive performance of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's "Birdman" which made its way into the top 10 with $2.7 million from 857 theaters, which is really really good.

New Wide Releases: "Dumb and Dumber To", "Beyond the Lights".
