Nobody Can STOP Him!!

Partnered with a blue hedgehog, Jim Carrey has rocketed back into big box office during this President's Day weekend ...

Four Days of Grosses*

1) Sonic The Hedgehog -- 4,167 theaters -- $68M -- $68M (1st weekend)

2) Birds Of Prey -- 4,236 -- $19.6M -- $61.7M

3) Fantasy Island -- 2,784 -- $14M -- $14M (1st weekend)

4) The Photograph -- 2,516 -- $13.3M -- $13.3M (1st weekend)

5) Bad Boys For Life -- 3,185 -- $12.8M -- $182.8M

6) 1917 -- 3,084 (-464) -- $9.3M -- $145.6M

7) Jumanji: Next Level -- 2,410 (-319) -- $7M -- $307M

8) Parasite -- 2,001 (+941) $1.7M -- $6.6M -- $44.3M

9) Dolittle -- 2,869 (-593) -- $6.3M -- $71.7M

10) Downhill -- 2,305 -- $5.2M -- $5.2M (1st weekend)

Globally Sonic the Hedgehog has collected $111 million in its various rollouts, the bulk coming from the United States and Canada. It apparently helps to have the '90's version of Mr. Carrey in support of an iconic video game character. Meantime, the partially-animated Jumanji: the Next Level has made $780,016,286 on a worldwide basis.

Then there are the two animated features from different Disney-owned studios. Spies in Disguise from Connecticut-based Blue Sky studios ha earner $166.8 million around the world, while its cousin Frozen II racked up $1,438,869,773 in its recent run. (Contrary to popular opinion, long-form cartoons from the House of Mouse are not all smash hits.)
