    Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, which topped the weekend box office for the third straight weekend and in the process passed Skyfall to become Sony's fifth-highest grossing film ever. Sony's Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle delivered a chart-topping $20 million as the film's domestic cume climbs over $315 million. The film's international cume added another $32.6 million this weekend as its worldwide total now stands at $767.8 million, moving it into the top 80 all-time. 

    Whaaa?

    Jumanji will most likely pass Spiderman: Homecoming's and Spiderman 3's domestic totals by next weekend, it only needs another $20 million to do so, and in the process will also overtake IT's total to be the 5th biggest domestic hit of 2017.
  • How did Jumanji become so huge? Are the quartet of Johnson, Black, Gillan, and Hart really that big of a draw?

    That's the million dollar question. I can't believe this has been such a huge hit.

    Perhaps it's just a good film. Not really my cup of tea, but these jungle adventures seem to do reasonable business. Kong was quite successful last year too.

    Yes, Kong was very enjoyable. That did about $500million iirc.

    Didn't seem worth the cinema but I'll watch Jumanji when it's on Sky. I like all the main cast members a lot. And yeah I thought Kong was great too. Fun little B movie.

    I'm wondering when is the production on Shane Black-directed Doc Savage film starring Dwayne Johnson as the titular character due. It's been unheard of for almost two years, I thought it was going to be The Rock's primary project.

    Conceptually Real Player One is interesting. I can theoretically appreciate the future appeal of VR as a sanctuary away from real life. I hope Spielberg does the idea justice & doesn't make a teenage film which appeals primarily to the social media generation.

    New Rampage trailer:

    This film is right up my alley. Should be great fun. I'm wondering however if Naomi is overexposing herself. EON may not want their office assistant getting fame as another character in what is likely to be a bigger hit stateside than B25.

    Been following this films development I can't wait being a fan of the genre, I hope it's 4K on Netflix.

    Looking forward to this.

    "You do what you do, and I do what I gotta do", the sequel.

    I meant in terms of the vibe it had rather than the budget. OTT, fun, grindhousey, a simple straightforward but out there story. Probably could have made that clearer in my post but at the same time there's no need to be a dick about it.

    Kong is definitely B movie script and plot despite the budget.

    As a fan of Martin Scorsese and all his work, I am beyond excited for this spiritual third film in the goodfellas- casino world. Now one thing that does upset me is that it’s netflix exclusive. I have Netflix but does this mean I can’t get it on blu ray or that it won’t be released in theatres

    It'll get a limited theatrical release alongside the Netflix release. I doubt it'll get a blu-ray release (going off of other Netflix Originals that haven't gotten one), but that could change.

    Not sure about blu ray but I've seen Netflix shows in shops on DVD before.

    Most of their shows seem to get a DVD/blu-ray/4K release, but not the movies for some odd reason. Beasts of No Nation never got a home video release, and yet What Happened To Monday did in France.

    Speaking of Netflix, their new video showcasing what comes in February gives a first look at Duncan Jones' Mute:



    Also, new poster for the next Transformers Pacific Rim:

    Black Dynamite sequel? Yes, please:

    While I'm sure it's something I'll inevitably want to own in 4K, I'm OK with it going to Netflix because when he wanted to send it to theaters, he couldn't get the proper funding for the type of film he wanted to make, so I'm glad Netflix opened up their wallets and let him craft it exactly how he wants it.

    I go to the cinema less and less, I have a good set up at home I would be pro streaming films on release as apposed to watching them in the cinema.
