How ‘Jumanji’ Conquered ‘Spider-Man’ To Become Sony’s Highest-Grossing Film Ever At The U.S. Box Office

 

Sony’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is officially the studio’s highest-grossing film ever at the domestic box office, overtaking Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man ($403.7 million) which has owned the title for the past 16 years.

 

Heading into the holiday season, executives across distribution and film finance had a strong feeling that this reboot of Jumanji directed by Jake Kasdan would serve as strong counter-programming to Disney’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The pic opened to $71.9 million over the six-day holiday and by the first weekend of January stole the No. 1 spot from the Rian Johnson sequel for four weekends out of its run.

 

But really, nobody was expecting a near billion-dollar global haul (No. 2 worldwide for Sony at $951M after Skyfall‘s $1.1 billion) nor a domestic take this high in the end. As Deadline already reported, our finance sources informed us that Jumanji will bring an estimated $305.7M in profit after all ancillaries back to Sony.

Lol I made the first prediction in this thread almost 3 years ago. Hindsight makes me REALLY look stupid

Why even bother, they already tried with Zathura, and it was pretty obvious the only reason Jumanji did well was Williams

Not singaling out Blank here but really there was a whole lot of negativity in the first few pages of this thread

I think this will turn out to be a really fun movie. 

Literally one of the only positive posts I could find from the early days

[Lordmandeep]

Who thought this remake would steal a star  war movies thunder.

[meriodejaneiro]

Seems like Sony is going full on against Episode IX.

Will they get the same success or will they fail?

Will we see a 600M-400M split again, or could it change.

I say Ep9 goes higher (750-800) and J3 goes down (300-350)

Episode 9 is nearly certain to decline as Episode 8 was a very standalone SW film.

It wasn't really. Not that it has any bearing on the next one, as AOTC was a "very standalone" film as well, and ROTS still went up quite a bit.

 

There are other factors that will decide whether IX will go up or down. There isn't anything that at this point would make it "near certain" for IX to go down (or up for that matter).

Domestic:	$404,353,891	42.0%
+ Foreign:	$557,765,973	58.0%
= Worldwide:	$962,119,864

 

The WW-gross is updated, so it has passed Hobbit: DOS & HP:DH1, worldwide-wise.

[MrFanaticGuy34]

A $962M WW for Jumanji 2, was a mindblowing run indeed. 🤯🤩

 

A near $700M WW increase from the predecessor (which had Robin Williams) which made $262M WW. How often does a first sequel to a film increase so much, let alone $700M from the first one?

 

BO-wise, This one single-handedly stampeded its predecessor like:

962 is 10.7x the prod budget (90).

 

ball-park theatrical revenue (55% dom, 33% os, 25% china),

404.5*0.55 + 479.5*0.33 + 78*0.25 = 400.21 ... insane number

 

covers prod budget, global marketing and release costs (around 150 I guess) and makes huge profits even before all of non-theatrical revenue kicks in. they can pay for 2 more jumanji's just with this one.

Looking at the first jumanji performance:

Seem to have been a nice fudging year. It is a nice increase from #10 WW to #5 on it's sequel.

 

Force Awaken I would imagine did a bigger jump ?

Participation bonus is maybe the movie biggest source of expense too.

true, do you have any guesstimates on how much that might be?

I could see something close to 50% of the profits happening.

 

It would not surprise anyone here, but Johnson having an executive producer credit and is Seven Bucks Productions company listed as a production company do sound like a nice back end deal being in place.

 

For some reason someone leaked Johnson deal on RedNotice to the wall street journal (maybe is own agents...)

 

On that he is getting either 30% of the profit or 4% of the world box office after a certain threshold, the biggest of the 2 amount.

 

If he had a similar deal of Jumanji that could be quite the payday, would not surprise me if he accept a lower deal to be equal with Kevin Hart, with each getting say 20% and leaving 10% for the rest.

Couple of producer of the first were on the new one, many writer also, they could have got points.
