Fraser's output slowed down over the next few years. Mummy Returns ended up with $202 million (or comparable to over $275 million today). At the time, that was the second highest-grossing opening weekend ever, behind only The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

Fortunately, The Mummy Returns was right around the corner, and it launched the summer of '01 with a smashing $68.1 million. Another remake, Bedazzled (2000), followed with a flat $37.9 million, and then Monkeybone was an even bigger bomb than Dudley Do-Right in 2001, picking up just $5.4 million. Cartoon adaptation Dudley Do-Right did wrong, eking out $10 million in its entire run.

Though Fraser started summer '99 with a bang, he ended it with a whimper in a movie that tried to recreate the success of George of the Jungle much like Blast from the Past recalled Encino Man. Kicking off the summer of '99, The Mummy unearthed a tremendous $43.4 million in its opening weekend, and it finally unraveled at $155.4 million (the equivalent of over $235 million adjusted). Fraser rebounded with a horror remake that was transformed into a supernatural adventure in the vein of Indiana Jones. Released in February, Blast from the Past was another "man-raised-in-the-past-emerging-in-the-modern-world" comedy like Encino Man but failed to live up in terms of box office, collecting $26.5 million.

In 1999, Fraser led three nationwide releases, but only one was a box office winner. Fraser's next significant release, the 1998 drama Gods and Monsters, had a relatively decent limited run, garnering $6.5 million. Walt Disney Pictures' live-action adaptation of the late 1960s cartoon had a swingin' time, grossing $105.3 million (or nearly $180 million adjusted). George of the Jungle became one of Fraser's biggest hits and stands as his only expressly kids-oriented movie to succeed. For better or worse, though, the "three strikes and you're out" rule doesn't apply in Hollywood, and, after those lumps, Fraser starred in a July 1997 movie that centered on him taking lumps. Winterbourne followed, and all three were outright flops. School Ties later received press for featuring both Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in early roles, while Joe Pesci vehicle With Honors may be best known for its Madonna theme song "I'll Remember." Rock comedy Airheads, baseball comedy The Scout and romantic comedy Mrs. School Ties made $14.7 million in Fall 1992, while With Honors mustered $20 million in Spring 1994. Fraser's next two major releases were the academic dramas School Ties and With Honors, and both posted modest grosses. Fraser in uncredited cameos as his Encino Man character.
Shore's two most successful comedies, Son-in-Law and In the Army Now, featured Mr. The relative success of the movie launched not only Fraser, but Pauly Shore. Encino Man, a comedy in which Fraser played a thawed-out caveman going to high school, opened on Memorial Day weekend in 1992 and ultimately grossed $40.7 million (or the equivalent of over $75 million adjusted for ticket price inflation). Fraser mining the territory of some of his worst-performing movies. This weekend, he's the sole above-the-title-billed star of Furry Vengeance, a family comedy that sees Mr. Other than that, he's never carried a non-adventure hit on his own. Audiences have most appreciated him in the adventure arena, namely The Mummy movies, with one family-oriented success in George of the Jungle. Brendan Fraser has had a bumpy box office track record since he first came to prominence in 1992 with Encino Man.
