Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was one of 2017's most surprising and most welcome blockbusters and by the end of its record-breaking run, it had grossed well over $941.69 million worldwide ($400.3M domestic, $541.3M foreign). The film ultimately finished 2017 as the fourth-highest grossing film of the year domestically and the fifth-highest grossing film of the year worldwide, which, considering it's modest $90 million production budget, is pretty damn phenomenal.
Sony was quick to move ahead with a sequel, enlisting original screenwriters Scott Rosenberg & Jeff Pinkner to pen a script for the third film just last month. Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan are all expected to reprise their roles as the video game avatars of the next batch of kids to find themselves trapped in the mystical world of Jumanji.
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment officially released the film on 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray today and we have a ton of amazing details and content for you to check out before you head out to your closest retail store (and/or Amazon) to add this blockbuster movie to your home video collection.
The Blu-ray special features include a gag reel, five behind-the-scenes featurettes, and a hilarious "Jumanji, Jumanji" music video from stars Jack Black and Nick Jonas. There are curiously no deleted scenes included, but with Karen Gillan recently revealing that an alternate ending for the film would've set up a sequel, it's probably not a stretch to assume that some of the other deleted content may have also played a part in laying down the groundwork for a potential sequel - something the studio may want to keep under wraps for the time being as they develop the third chapter.

Behind the Scenes Clip - VFX: Then & Now

When four high-school kids discover an old video game console with a game they’ve never heard of--Jumanji--they are immediately drawn into the game’s jungle setting, literally becoming the avatars they chose: gamer Spencer becomes a brawny adventurer (Dwayne Johnson); football jock Fridge loses (in his words) "the top two feet of his body" and becomes an Einstein (Kevin Hart); popular girl Bethany becomes a middle-aged male professor (Jack Black); and wallflower Martha becomes a badass warrior (Karen Gillan). What they discover is that you don’t just play Jumanji--you must survive it. To beat the game and return to the real world, they’ll have to go on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, discover what Alan Parrish left 20 years ago, and change the way they think about themselves--or they’ll be stuck in the game forever...
