At Sony’s CinemaCon introduction in Las Vegas, Sony Motion Pictures executive Tom Rothman uncovered that 2017’s unexpected blockbuster “Jumanji” will get a continuation of debut Christmastime of one year from now.
Rothman recognized that the release date would set it against “Star Wars: Episode IX,” which is set to release around a similar time.
Dwayne Johnson took to Instagram to share pictures with co-actors on the set of Jumanji.
He also did post a video of the team celebrating his birthday very recently.
“Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle,” starring Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart, has been one of the biggest blockbusters of the year, earning over $400 million domestically and with a global tally approaching $1 billion. After coming in second its premiere weekend to “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” “Jumanji” accomplished the unusual feat of climbing to No. 1 in its fifth weekend, and remaining at the top for the following three weekends. After falling back to second to “Maze Runner: The Death Cure,” “Jumanji” rose back to No. 1 for a fourth weekend.
