Dumb and Dumber To tops box office

Screwball comedy sequel Dumb and Dumber To confounded scathing reviews to top the North American box office on its debut in theaters at the weekend, estimated figures showed on Sunday.

A follow-up to 1994's Dumb and Dumber, the sequel sees Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels reprise their roles as dimwitted best friends haplessly attempting to overcome a series of comic obstacles on a farcical odyssey.

The movie, directed by brothers Bobby and Peter Farrelly, pulled in a solid $38 million in its opening weekend, according to box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations.
