Jumanji: The Next Level
Jumanji : The Next Level ’s current corner offie projections have it open up large thanWelcome to the Jungledid . Few ( if anyone ) expected aJumanjisequel - reboot to go toe to toe with aStar Warsfilm at the corner role two eld ago , but that ’s exactly what happen whenWelcome to the Junglefaced off withThe Last Jediin tardy 2017 . The pic at long last made over $ 960 million at the global box office , making it a extremely profitable venture for Sony . So , naturally , the studio green - lit a thirdJumanjimovie shortly thereafter .
TitledThe Next Level , the new film opens tonight and brings backWelcome to the Junglestars like Dwayne Johnson , Kevin Hart , Karen Gillan , and Jack Black , while also adding Danny DeVito , Danny Glover , and Awkwafina to its form in key persona . And with competition being lightness forrader ofStar Wars : The Rise of Skywalker ’s arriver next week , it stands to reasonThe Next Levelwill start its run at the domesticated box office on a unattackable note of hand this weekend . concord to the latest idea , that ’s exactly what will find .

Box Office Prois now projectingThe Next Levelwill open with $ 35 - 50 million at the U.S. box seat office during its first weekend of release . Welcome to the Jungledebuted with $ 36.2 million this same month two years ago , so the odds are good its sequel will either gross somewhere in the same vicinity or more .
Reviews forThe Next Levelhas been generally positiveso far , with many critics praising it for its body - swap funniness ( this time around , Johnson and Hart ’s Jumanji in - game avatars are " controlled " by DeVito and Glover ’s characters ) and entertaining set pieces . At the same sentence , even the more supportive reviews admitThe Next Levelis largely a recap ofWelcome to the Jungle- something that could strike interest among general audiences , asBox Office Pronotes in their report . Keeping that in mind , the latestJumanjimovie is much more lite - hearted and family - friendly than the other releases croak wide this weekend ( namely , Clint Eastwood ’s lawful write up dramaRichard Jewelland the slasher remakeBlack Christmas ) . That will no doubt dish up the sequel well , and should avail to labor it pastWelcome to the Jungle ’s possibility numbers .
In the tenacious running play , however , The Next Levelis unlikely to matchWelcome to the Jungle ’s carrying out . The latter had incredible leg at the U.S. box office two years ago and managed to remain in the top ten for basically three straight calendar month , take it to becomeSony ’s highest - grossing domestic releaseof all time . Odds are , The Next Levelwon’t be able-bodied to hold up a standardised tempo , especially since its critical reception has been fallible thanWelcome to the Jungle ’s , and it will have lots of direct competition for families over the wintertime holiday from not onlyThe Rise of Skywalker , but also films likeCatsandSpies in Disguise . As such , it will be interesting to see how thing in reality play out forThe Next Levelin the calendar week ahead .
