It took Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle three weeks to reach #1 at the North American box office but the movie has quickly become one of 2017's most successful releases in North America. With a total of $245 million domestically, the movie - which stars Dwayne Johnson - has made $245 million to date, a figure which puts it ahead of Justice League's $227 million and pushes Logan out of the Top 10.
Jumanji is now the second highest grossing movie of Johnson's career behind only Furious 7 (which made $353 million) and it's Kevin Hart's biggest ever. Chances are it will next pass Despicable Me 3 but it would have to do extremely well in the coming weeks to top Thor: Ragnarok's mighty $312 million.
At the worldwide box office, Jumanji has made more than $500 million and with its Chinese release looming, things are looking very good for this resurrected franchise. A sequel being announced somewhere down the line now feels like an inevitability and Johnson can now enjoy having another series to make his own. What did you guys think of the movie? Do you want another instalment?
