BOX OFFICE REPORT (NOV. 14-16): You Liked It a Lot! DUMB AND DUMBER TO Wins the Weekend
1. Dumb and Dumber To (N)
Weekend gross: $38.1 million / Total domestic gross: $38.1 million /
Percent drop: NA
Twenty years after Dumb and Dumber hit theaters, its sequel finally arrived. Like Harry and Lloyd in their orange and baby blue tuxedos, Dumb and Dumber To arrived in style, grossing $38.1 million its opening weekend. That's almost double what the original Dumb and Dumber opened to in 1994 ($16.4 million). It may be hard to believe, but Dumb and Dumber To's opening weekend was actually the best for a live-action Jim Carrey movie since Bruce Almighty grossed $68 million back in 2003. Things haven't been going all that great for Carrey.
2. Big Hero 6 (1st)
Weekend gross: $36 million / Total domestic gross: $111.7 million /
Percent drop: 35.9
It took Big Hero 6 just two weekends to crack the $100 million mark, becoming the sixth movie under the Second Disney Animation Renaissance to do so. Big Hero 6 currently ranks No. 5 in this era, with Bolt ($114.1 million) just a few million dollars away. Big Hero 6 should be able to double its current domestic gross, which would put it on track to eventually pass Wreck-It Ralph's $200.8 million. At $400.7 million, Frozen is probably just a tad too far away for Big Hero 6.

3. Interstellar (2nd)
Weekend gross: $38.6 million / Total domestic gross: $97.8 million /
Percent drop: 38.6
Interstellar is kind of in a weird middle area for Christopher Nolan movies. It's not a megablockbuster like The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises or Inception, but it's also not a super low grossing movie like The Prestige or Insomnia. Interstellar is stuck in a middle ground — it looks like a blockbuster but it isn't.

4. Beyond the Lights (N)
Percent drop: NA
I read about Beyond the Lights in the back of Entertainment Weekly. Up until that point, I thought it was a made-for-TV movie.
5. Gone Girl (3rd)
Weekend gross: $4.6 million / Total domestic gross: $152.7 million /
Percent drop: 25.5
Percent drop: 25.5
Gone Girl passed the $150 million mark at the domestic box office, the first of any of director David Fincher's movies to do so.
Next week's predictions
1. Big Hero 6
2. Interstellar
3. Nightcrawler
4. Ouija
5. Gone Girl
