Previous Films..
Back in 2017 the debut of the Jumanji franchise was revitalized with the release of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, directed by Jake Kasdan. This film became a global success, raking in over $962 million. It introduced a contemporary twist to the original story by converting the game into a video game, leading to a new set of players becoming trapped within it.
Kasdan returned to helm the sequel, Jumanji: The Next Level, in 2019, where the same characters once again found themselves caught in the video game. Although it didn’t quite match the earnings of its predecessor, the film still performed well at the box office, grossing over $801 million.
