Box Office: Another ‘Jumanji' movie levels up with $60 million debut, ‘Richard Jewell’ stumbles
It’s shaping up to be a merry holiday season for “Jumanji: The Next Level.” Sony’s adventure sequel debuted in first place to $60.1 million, dethroning “Frozen” after three consecutive weeks as box office champ.
“Richard Jewell,” the latest offering from director Clint Eastwood, tumbled out of the gate in fourth place with $5 million from 2,502 theaters. Those uninspired receipts rank among the worst in recent history for Eastwood and mount to Warner Bros. rocky box office fortunes after “Doctor Sleep,” “The Good Liar” and “Motherless Brooklyn” stumbled in recent weeks. “Richard Jewell” is the studio’s eighth movie in 2019 to debut to less than $10 million.
“It seems like a soft weekend overall. Perhaps people are busy in school,” said Jim Orr, Universal’s president of domestic distribution. “With the nature of this time of year, even with a modest opening, we might get better than normal legs and have a decent run over the holidays.”
