Sony chairman Tom Rothman is eyeing a December 2019 release date for a Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle sequel, where it will go head-to-head at the box office with Star Wars: Episode IX. The reboot of the classic ’90s property, headlined by bona fide star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, was one of this holiday season’s biggest surprises. Opening just five days after The Last Jedi premiered in theaters, Welcome to the Jungle more than held its own and has earned an impressive $769.4 million worldwide. It even managed to top Episode VIII after a couple weeks, riding waves of positive buzz.
Sony wanting a repeat of what happened this time. This little face off against TLJ and holding their own so well with all the positive buzz and money helped them grow some balls. It’s going to become a Xmas tradition, a new Star Wars movie and a new Jumanji.
Maybe it will be like the new Furious or Jurassic series given that we know how this goes these days.
They’ve setup the game can change so they can go through a bunch of gaming tropes I suppose.
But knowing Sony, they could easily run this goodwill into the ground as well
Also I threw in a poll just for the hell of it
