If you’d have said Jumanji would have made more money than The Last Jedi we’d have called you crazy. Well. We’re about to eat some words.

Sony’s Jumanji: Enter The Jungle left audiences and critics alike dumbfounded as if smashed the box office over the holiday season. It is now a smash hit for the company and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s most successful film. The movie has made around $353.3 million in the US alone. These numbers come from the latest box office report from Deadline. Dwayne’s previously most successful movie was Furious 7 which made a tidy $353 million.

According to the site, Sony has made the decision to move ahead with a sequel.

The writers for the first movie, Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner will return for the sequel. The stars from the first movie will also return, including Kevin hart, The Rock, Jack Black and Karen Gillan.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle has made more than $850 million (on a budget of $100 million), so it makes complete sense that they would make another.

In other movie news, we have our first reveal of Cable from the upcoming Deadpool 2 movie! Careful, there are some swears.

It looks amazing.

  • Food Food Review: Las Iguanas, Newcastle
    4/5 If you love a good theme, Las Iguanas is a restaurant you might like to try. The Latin American-style chain has restaurants all over the country, but I recently popped into the one on Grey Street just down from the Theatre Royal. As always, the restaurant itself is pristine and the atmosphere is super […]

  • Books Book Review: 1984 by George Orwell
    1/5 1984 is always cited as one of the best books ever written. It’s supposed to be intelligent, sharp and profound. Instead, I found it to be dull, rambling and unremarkable. Oh, and rampantly sexist. George Orwell was clever – I’ve read his essays and I like them. But 1984? It was hard to believe […]
