Another “Jumanji” Targets Christmas 2019
It may not have much in the way of buzz, but Sony’s “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” has proven a surprise massive hit – quietly and consistently racking up earnings in the past month to the point it has become a box-office monster.
The Dwayne Johnson-led film, which has topped the box-office the past three weeks, currently stands at $769 million worldwide – more than $300 million of that being domestically where it has surpassed “Skyfall” to become Sony’s highest grossing non-“Spider-Man” film to date.
Combined with being shot for a reasonably economical $90 million, it comes as no surprise that Sony head Tom Rothman is aiming to have the follow-up in cinemas for Christmas 2019 according to a new report in The Wall Street Journal.
While there’s no official announcement just yet, the film would open opposite “Star Wars: Episode IX” on December 20th – not unlike last year where ‘Jungle’ opened days after ‘Last Jedi’ and both have managed to be major hits.
Sony Pictures has set Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner to pen a “Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle” sequel that will reunite Dwayne Johnson with Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan and the rest.
The pair were the final set of writers on current box-office champ “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle,” and have also penned the upcoming “Venom” film with Tom Hardy.
Plot specifics are under wraps. Matt Tolmach, Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia will produce.

To celebrate the news that “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” has become the biggest domestic box-office grossing release ever by Sony Pictures, the film’s star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson took to Instagram and confirmed developmental is well-underway on a third one.
He also teased that his co-star Kevin Hart’s character Franklin ‘Mouse’ Finbar will be killed off for good. The first film recently passed the $400 million domestic mark and is nearing $1 billion worldwide.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is more entertaining a film than it has any right to be. It really is a pretty clever story, and the characters are quite enjoyable. I can't wait to see what they do with this next film.
