Jumanji: The Next Level passed Frozen 2 in box office sales this weekend, bringing in $60.1 million in the U.S. and Canada in its opening weekend and $52.5 million in 18 other countries the week before its domestic launch. Frozen 2 held the No. 1 spot for three straight weeks and has earned $367 million at the domestic box office since its first showing on Nov. 22. The musical fantasy film hit the $1 billion mark worldwide, making it Disney Animation’s third billion-dollar project and Walt Disney Studio’s sixth billion-dollar release in 2019. Jumanji: Next Level, which stars Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart, is a follow-up to 2017’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, which earned $962 million globally. Richard Jewell earned only $5 million over the weekend, becoming one of the worst box office debuts for director Clint Eastwood. The 89-year old director described the docudrama’s story as a “great American tragedy.”
