<br>
winner after a horror movie box office showdown.<br>

Ray, whose mom is Nicholson's former partner Rebecca Broussard, shocked fans with an eerie grin in the new movie, which was near-identical to the <br>

Oscar-winner's maniacal smile as Jack Torrance in the <br>
<br>
1980 Stanley Kubrick classic, The Shining.<br>

<br>
'Here's Johnny!' in an improvised line.<br>
<br>

The original Smile, released in September 2022, <br>
<br>
