I think it was made with making another few films in mind. Was it though? J2 even ends with them destroying the video game console and walking away. Seemed pretty definitive.

James Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 thinking J3 makes around 350m and SW9 around 550m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatebox Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 The last one's performance must be one of my bigger crow-eating moments. I thought the marketing was relying on non-existent nostalgia for the first but in the end none of that mattered. It was just the perfect all-ages vehicle for the Rock.

Jumanji 3 willl be a sequel to the 2, that could be quite different. Or could go yet for an other remake (put them again in a game) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Jumanji was a terrific box office story. But I think it is a huge mistake to think that it can compete with Star Wars on the same weekend. That's all that needs to be said about that for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valonqar Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 It's coming out a week before Ep IX which has pretty full week itself (Masters, Death on the Nile and Wicked). I bet something from Dec 20 weekend will move, but it still stands that competition is definitely fiercer this time around. I can't see IX increase OS but Jumanji 2 could.

Jandrew Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Not feeling it. They'd need to re-reboot to keep from getting stale. If this movie is full of: - Jack Black acting like a teen girl - Kevin Hart short jokes - Rock hunk jokes - Stuck in a video game - rhinos all again, then it'll get really old really quick. It was funny the first time, but the magic wears off with retreads. And then having them stuck in an app or something is just lazy. But oh well what can you do? Will be interesting to see what new concepts they come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebeccas Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) They can just have the avatars as new characters playing them so maybe this time The Rock is a teen girl. Edited June 28, 2018 by Rebeccas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hades Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 This comfortable made more than the last Spidey film...This franchise is SONY's favourite son right now. I wonder if it makes its release date. The Rock has to clone himself to be available in time to shoot this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it is an challenge. I would also be tempted to make a remake instead of a sequel, you can have a different group of people playing the game this time (say old people instead of young one, having them being a bit fish out of water joke of not understanding video games trope). But they did laugh about video game trope quite a lot. Or have the video games trope becoming real people and have the fish out of the water reversed, The Rock video character being in control of the unpopular young kid. Or one thing that they can easily do, is change the video game that is play and the jungle setting for an other classic video game type.

Wouldn't that basically require all the big stars to have hardly any screentime while the no-names have to carry the movie? If the story were reversed this time around, we wouldn't see The Rock, we would see someone else acting as if he were The Rock. That's doable, but not taking advantage of the actors you have.

Ahhh that is true, you cannot have them in too minor roles (would help is scheduling too). Audience will almost certainly want to see them play a game again and probably still be avatar of the same people. They are in a age that they could have matured and grown quite fast in movie time too, specially from that experience making it possible to have something interesting, say you setup it just after they started their work life.

Bobbybuilderton Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) Regardless of how it performs, this release date is a fucking power play. You know that scene in The Leftovers where Kevin flops his giant dick onto the sensor? That's Sony to Star Wars right now.

4815162342 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Opening the week before Episode 9 is gonna impact it less than Jumanji coming in after Episode 8 and scooping up repeat views. Also given how big the first broke out, the odds of it expanding even further are against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
