2017’s “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” made a lot of money. It surpassed the $350M mark domestically, making it the 5th highest grossing film of 2017 domestic. It was just $40M shy of the billion dollar worldwide mark — these numbers make it the highest-grossing domestic movie of Dwayne Johnson's career. Oh, and it was also the first December release in twenty years to have a #1 spot in February, last achieved by a little movie called “Titanic” back in February ‘98. So, yeah, “Jumanji” was a big deal and, yet, I didn’t care an ounce for it. Go figure.
The inevitable sequel, titled “Jumanji: The Next Level” opens on December. 13.
