Information has already appeared on the network about how much the fantastic film "Jumanji: A New Level" (2019) collected in the first rental weekend - its box office in the world met the expectations of the creators, and it seems that the sequel has every chance of overtaking its predecessor, earning more box office.
Home rental
In North America, the film grossed $ 60 million at its premiere and screened in 4,227 theaters. This is an impressive amount, considering that market experts predicted the result of the first weekend of 40-50 million for the film, and the Sony studio itself was counting on a modest $ 35 million. Thus, the project became the best release in December for the entire film studio and took 13th place in the list of the best December starts.
The sequel "Jumanji" managed to dislodge the second part of the cartoon "Frozen" from the pedestal, firmly taking the first position at the head of the top box office at home.
Level Up grossed 7.4 million more in its first three days of release than Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle over Christmas weekend in five days. Welcome to the Jungle finished at the home box office with $ 404.5 million (another record for Sony).
World rental
But in the world box office the sequel "behaved" a little worse than the critics promised him - in the first weekend the film grossed $ 52.5 million worldwide. The original tape once brought the creators 54.8 million. Suddenly, there were problems with the Chinese rental market, where the gross was only 25 million. Although it was assumed that the Chinese viewers will bring in the "Jumanji 2: The Next Level" project at least $ 40 million in the first weekend.
Fees in Russia
In Russia for the first weekend, the second part collected more than 155 million rubles. By the end of the second weekend, this amount had already reached 521 million. The attendance of film shows is almost 2 million viewers. And if we take into account the CIS countries, then the project raised 570 million rubles for 2 weekends.
Total fees so far
Now the worldwide box office of Jumanji 2: The Next Level (2019) has already surpassed the $ 212 million mark. The production budget is estimated at a moderate $ 125 million by modern Hollywood standards, so the film will not have any problems with the return on investment. The tape has a good chance to reach the coveted figure of one billion dollars at the worldwide box office, which “Call of the Jungle” failed (it lacked only 38 million).
The creators do not have to worry about the box office of the film "Jumanji: The Next Level" (2019), because by how much he collected in the world, one can already draw conclusions - the tape was able to recoup the costs of creating the project. Now the film is heading steadily towards the most cherished goal of the Sony film studio - to raise one billion dollars, and the sequel has every chance of reaching that mark.
