DUMB AND DUMBER TO Tops Fandango's Weekend Ticket Sales

According to Fandango, the nation's leading moviegoer destination, the Jim Carrey-Jeff Daniels comedy sequel "Dumb and Dumber To" is a no-brainer for moviegoers this weekend, representing more than 50% of Fandango's weekend wide release sales and scoring a bright 86 out of 100 points on the company's Fanticipation movie buzz indicator. "Dumb and Dumber Too" is currently outselling last year's irreverent comedies, "Anchorman 2" and "We're the Millers," at the same point in the Fandango sales cycle.

According to a survey of more than 1,000 "Dumb and Dumber To" ticket-buyers on Fandango:

95% of moviegoers have seen the first film (but only 47% of them saw it on the big screen);

93% are Jim Carrey fans; 82% are also Jeff Daniels fans;

89% will see the film with a best friend or group of friends;

87% said they would not have seen "Dumb and Dumber To" if either actor had not returned;

86% have been looking forward to a sequel ever since the first film;

77% are fans of the film's directors, The Farrelly Brothers.

"It's rare to see so much anticipation for a sequel to a twenty-year-old movie," says Fandango Chief Correspondent Dave Karger. "Fans of the first movie will be happy to see Carrey and Daniels together again, and even those moviegoers who are too young to remember the first movie will enjoy its riotous silliness."
