Jumanji: The Next Level l Sony l December 13, 2019 l 10th Most Profitable Movie of 2019

[Ryan Reynolds]

Time for Episode 9 to move to January

If not for the Christmas holidays this would become Fallen Kingdom 2.0....

 

that being said - hope it is as fun as the last one!

Jumanj3's OW>IX's OW?  

[MovieMan89]

I'm honestly not sure what can be done here to really hook audiences like the last? The novelty of WTTJ only works for one movie, you can't do that again with the same cast and expect it to be such a hook. And at the same time you can't really jettison the cast and expect that the same audience will still be interested. So what exactly do they do? Think this will be a very rare case of a sequel to a really well received break out hit dropping off huge.

Masters of the Universe still dated for December 18th?

Nope.

 

 

In all seriousness best case scenario is flat DOM. I personally think like most comedy sequels it will decrease, especially so close to Frozen 2. A $75M/$300M run is my guess.

It's close enough LOL I don't think he's quite the box-office nerd that we are.

He's probably considering the dvd sales ( according to the numbers, movie so far has made 48 million in sales ).

The first movie was a legit surprise (both in terms of box office and quality) to the point that it probably captured lightning in a bottle. I’d be shocked if they can manage that again.

3 Dwayne Johnson Tentpoles a year ?

 

There s no way he is gonna find time to shoot Jungle Cruise, Hobbs & Shaw & Jumanji 3 and make them ready for a  2019 release, right ?

Madness.

Jungle cruise shoot started may 14, 2018

 

Has of now:

Jungle Cruise: No release date yet

Hobbs & Shaw : August 2, 2019

Jumanji 3: December 2019

Add I would imagine a really small role / cameo in Fighting with my family (Suicide Squad 2 will not happen form 2019).

 

Hobbs & Shaw do seem like a big movie to have an august release if they just started to photography in june for Jungle Cruise, but they can 10 month for that one and 10 month for jumanji 3 and make it fit I think.

Agreed, I liked jumanji 2 , if we can call it that, a lot , it was a lovely movie but I just don’t see how a sequel can work and have the same charm and freshness. I really don’t think that it needs a sequel but of course we are going to have one for an almost one billion movie, esp. from a desperate studio like Sony Columbia.

I just want to say that the previous film had a five year development and started filming more than a year before release.

 

On the other hand, this only just started active development back in February, and won't begin filming until early next year, February at the earliest (Dwayne is shooting Hobbs & Shaw until Jan, Kevin Hart is gonna try to do a remake of Uptown Saturday Night sometime before then, and Jack Black and Karen Gillan could also have other projects to do around them). 

 

So if Sony really wants to make that December date, they're basically gonna have to rush filming and have even less time for post production (which, correct me if I'm wrong, equals an increased budget).

 

Also, I find it a bit interesting how they're releasing it a week before IX despite the last one doing well opening after Last Jedi. But I won't delve much into that.

Because SW has taken the weekend before Christmas spot. There is really no were else to put Jumanji if they wanted a December release.
Besides, Jumanji 2 made a significant amount of money in January.

I don't think that's happening now that JUMANJI II has been dated.

[Maxmoser3]

Welcome To The Jungle is on starz on the 7th of next month? Worth watching or skip it?

Well the original didn’t really need a sequel and this one turned out entertaining! 

 

I think it was made with making another few films in mind.
