Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are back with a bang as they reclaim the throne at the box office with their follow-up to 1994’s “Dumb & Dumber”. “Big Hero 6” was dethroned by “Dumb and Dumber To” in a very close race for the top spot. The comedy directed by returning helmers Bobby and Peter Farrelly raked in an impressive $36 million. Carrey and Daniels reprise their signature roles as Lloyd and Harry in the sequel to the smash hit that took the physical comedy and kicked it in the nuts: Dumb and Dumber To. The two best friends hit the road to find a child Harry never knew he had and the responsibility neither should ever, ever be given.
