![]() ![]() ![]() Updated Guardians 2: Everything you need to know Updated Guardians 2. Jumanji 2 – or Jumanji. Release date and everything you need to know; It 2017 cast. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is a 2017 American action-adventure comedy film directed by Jake Kasdan and written by Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers. In holdover news, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle won the weekend for the third time in a row, snagging around $20 million (-29%) fifth Fri-Sun frame. That’s the seventh-biggest fifth weekend gross of all time, behind only The Avengers ($20.4m), The Sixth Sense ($22.896m), Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($26.3m), Frozen ($28.5m), Titanic ($30m) and Avatar ($42.7m). Its new $316.7m domestic total puts it ahead of Skyfall ($304m in 2012) to become Sony’s fifth-biggest domestic grosser of all time, and the biggest that isn’t a Spider-Man movie. It now sits behind Spider-Man: Homecoming ($334 million), Spider-Man 3 ($336m), Spider-Man 2 ($374m) and Spider-Man ($403m). It should pass those first two and has an outside shot at passing $375m to become Sony’s second-biggest domestic earner. And it may end up among their top five global grossers too. At this point, the Dwayne Johnson/Kevin Hart/Jack Black/Karen Gillan action comedy is a phenomenon unto itself, not merely the runner-up behind Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Once it passes Furious 7 ($350 million), it’s going to be The Rock’s biggest domestic earner ever and (if it gets past Secret Life of Pets‘ $368m gross) could be Hart’s biggest as well. It’s already Black’s biggest hit and it may fall right between Gillan’s two Guardians of the Galaxy movies ($377m and $389m). With $767 million worldwide, it’s now Sony’s 8th-biggest global grosser. Once it gets past $771m, it’ll best 2012 ($770m in 2009) to become Sony’s biggest non- 007/ Spider-Man grosser ever. The top Sony global hits are, as of now, Spider-Man 2 ($783m in 2004), Spider-Man ($821m in 2002), Spider-Man: Homecoming ($880m in 2017), Spectre ($881m in 2015), Spider-Man 3 ($891m in 2007) and Skyfall ($1.108 billion in 2012). $800 million+ (on a $90m budget) seems a foregone conclusion, but anything beyond that is merely speculation. If it gets to $800m, it’ll be one of the cheapest such live-action movies to do so, joining Wolf Warrior 2 ($31m), Jurassic Park ($63m in 1993) and Independence Day ($75m in 1996). If you count animated films, then it’s still in the top ten, behind The Lion King ($45m in 1994), Minions ($74m in 2015), Secret Life of Pets ($75m in 2016), Despicable Me 2 ($76m in 2013), Despicable Me 3 ($80m in 2017) and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs ($90m in 2009). Nonetheless, this one is arguably now Sony’s flagship picture, which takes the pressure off of Spider-Man and gives them some bargaining power if they still want overseas distribution for the next 007 movie. “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” outdid another weekend’s worth of newcomers to top the North American box office for the third straight weekend, making the surprise hit the fifth-highest grossing film of all time for Sony Pictures. “Jumanji,” starring Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart, sold $20 million in tickets, according to studio estimates Sunday, bringing its five-week domestic total to $317 million. That makes Sony’s reboot the studio’s best non-Spider-Man movie domestically, not adjusting for inflation. The film’s unexpectedly strong staying power has lent a boost to the January box office but kept new releases from reaching the top of the box-office chart. “Jumanji” has also reigned overseas, where it has grossed $450.8 million and topped all films internationally for three straight weeks. The war drama “12 Strong,” starring Chris Hemsworth, debuted in second with $16.5 million in ticket sales. The Warner Bros. Release, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, is a fact-based tale, adapted from Doug Stanton’s best-seller “Horse Soldiers,” about a group of Special Forces soldiers sent into northern Afghanistan just weeks after Sept.
