Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle may
have been dethroned from its number one box office spot this weekend by
Maze Runner: The Death Cure, but the Sony reboot/sequel has crossed another major milestone.
Jumanji added another $34.1 million to its global box office total, bringing it to $822 million worldwide and surpassing
Wonder Woman's $821 million worldwide total.
Though
Wonder Woman had a higher domestic total with $412.5 million vs
Jumanji's $338 million, it's the international markets that have carried the Sony picture past the Warner Bros./DC film.
Jumanji currently has an overseas total of $484 million compared to
Wonder Woman's $404 million.
Jumanji's worldwide box office total should continue to grow as it is currently sits at $72.4 million in China so far, but is expected to cross
Wonder Woman's total of $90 million in the country.
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle currently sits in the No. 9 spot on 2017's worldwide charts, ahead of films such as
Wonder Woman, Justice League, and
Logan, but behind
Thor: Ragnarok (851.9 million),
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (863.7 million) and
Spider-Man: Homecoming (880.2 million). In the domestic charts, however, it resides in the No. 5 spot, trailing the aforementioned
Wonder Woman (412.5 million) and
Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 (389.8 million).
In both 2017 charts, the No. 1 spot is held by
Star Wars: The Last Jedi (1.3 billion woldwide / 610.7 million domestic), which is interesting because Sony motion-pictures chief Tom Rothman was reportedly hoping to a have a sequel to
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle release around Christmas of 2019 in a face-off against
Star Wars: Episode IX.
