Even the powers of the Mask were not enough to help Son of the Mask get good reviews, as the film enters theaters this weekend, with an abysmal Rotten Tomatoes score of 2%. Fred Topel of About.com is one of the few critics who praise Son of the Mask, stating, “There are people who hate this movie with a passion and I just don’t understand the point. If you don’t like the jokes and think it’s stupid, fine, but it’s still just a harmless kid’s movie.”

How will the brutal reviews affect the Jim Carrey-less sequel? Box Office Report predicts a weekend gross of $11 million, while Box office Guru is even less enthusiastic, guessing a gross of $10 million. However, Lee’s Movie Info gives the largest prediction, suggesting a gross of $14.8 million for the weekend.
