Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle has been having an amazing box office run during the course of its first month and has become one of 2017's most successful releases both in North America and worldwide. With a domestic total of 293.7 million, it is now Sony's biggest movie outside of the Bond and Spider-Man franchises.

With extremely low drops and relatively minor competition until Disney's A Wrinkle In Time or possibly Peter Rabbit, the Dwayne Johnson-led blockbuster is set to pass Sony's Spider-Man: Homecoming ($334 million) to become the studio's highest grossing film of the year in North America. This means it will enter the Top 5 domestic films of 2017, and possibly the Top 4. The projected domestic total finish is $380-400 million. 

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is also set to become the highest grossing movie of Dwayne Johnson's career once it passes Furious 7 ($353 million) in the next couple of weeks.

Can't believe this movie is doing so well. The trailers looked terrible.

Also, off-topic: The Last Jedi cast reacts to the recent fan-edit that cut out all the women.

And an interesting interpretation of Luke's arc in the movie that's more or less the same as my interpretation.

Well deserved. Enjoyed it very much, and didn't try to be like the original.

"With extremely low drops and relatively minor competition until Disney's A Wrinkle In Time or possibly Peter Rabbit..."

Come on, ruthless! Even you know better than that! A Wrinkle in Time comes out on March 9th. Black Panther hits theaters on February 15th. We all know you have the bizarre belief that Black Panther will bomb, but everyone else knows that it's going to open to at least $100 million. Jumanji's success is well-deserved and kudos to all involved, but it will be on its way out of theaters by the time T'Challa and his Wakandan allies sweep in.

@Skrull - I think she skipped ahead to the next upcoming KIDS movies, but I agree that BP is going to sell a whooooole lot of kids tickets...

Just realized 2 writers of this movie wrote Homecoming
MUTO123
MUTO123 - 1/17/2018, 11:54 PM
@RealSpiderMan - They’ve also written Community, American Dad, The Lego Batman Movie, and Ant-Man & the Wasp. They’re solid.

I know there's another movie that comes out before A Wrinkle in Time and Peter Rabbit that's gonna pose some serious competition, but I just can't think of the title (I know that it's two words; the first one is a color and the second one is the name of a cat-like jungle creature).

Wow, it's performing way better than I thought it would up against Last Jedi. Haven't seen it yet but good for it.

Saw this with my kids and several other people and we all enjoyed it. The Rock was hilarious. Seeing him not be his typical macho self was great!

Is the box office that devoid of anything to see that this is still making so much money?

@spudo - Based on audience scores online, it would seem that they just far prefer this over Last Jedi so it's weekly drop offs are very low compared to the nose dive TLJ has been taking since its massive opening weekend.

@DanJack - who said anything about last jedi? I meant the box office in general. and only in a couple months do we have the rock starring as the rock again in rampage. I have Rock fatigue.

It seems like the world wants silly action movies that aren't very deep.

I expect we'll soon get an Instagram video from The Rock saying something along the lines of "I've just heard we're the number one movie in the world guys and we're top 5 for the year in domestic sales bla bla bla..."

I know that movies are a business, but the Rock seems to only care about how much money his movies make rather than actually caring about making great movies. That may not be the case but that's how he comes across. He's always talking about which countries his movies are number one in and how much money they've made and how he's still the hardest working guy in Hollywood etc...

I suppose as humble as he always says he is, he still has a giant ego to feed.
