Jumanji

JANUARY 15 UPDATE: A second consecutive weekend at the top for Sony’s Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle saw it dominate the four-day Martin Luther King Jr. weekend as an estimated $35.4m propelled the tally to $291.6m after four weekends, ahead of debuts by The Commuter, Paddington 2, and Proud Mary.

DreamWorks/Participant’s The Post from Steven Spielberg vaulted 13 slots to number two through Fox following a theatre expansion from 36 to 2,819 as it added $23.4m for $27.9m in the fourth session. 

Studiocanal’s Liam Neeson thriller The Commuter debuted solidly in third place on $16.4m in 2,892 sites. Warner Bros opened Paddington 2 at number six on a decent $15m in 3,702 venues – the $10.9m three-day portion down 21.4% on the $18.9m January 2015 launch of Paddington through Weinstein/Dimension.

Screen Gems opened the action thriller Proud Mary starring Taraji P. Henson at number eight on $12m in 2,125.

Working Title’s Winston Churchill drama Darkest Hour dropped two places through Focus Features to number 10, adding $5.6m for $36.8m in the eighth weekend. Molly’s Game with Jessica Chastain slipped five rungs down the latter to number 12 through STX, earning $4.8m for $21.6m after three. I, Tonya ranks 14th through NEON/30WEST on $4.2m for $10.9m after six.

Three Billboads Outside Ebbing, Missouri used a strong performance at last weekend’s Golden Globes – winning four, more than any other film – to climb four places to number 16 in its tenth session, grossing $3.2m for $29.4m via Fox Searchlight. The distributor and awards specialist saw The Shape Of Water, which earned two Globes, drop four to number 15 on $3.6m for $27.3m after seven.

Box office for the top 12 over four days generated $170.3m, while the three-day session earned $132.4m, down 11.6% on last weekend, and down 2.9% on the comparable three-day MLK session in 2017.

This week’s wide releases are: thriller Den Of Thieves starring Gerard Butler through STX; and Warner Bros’ war film 12 Strong with Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon, and Michael Pena.
