Principal photography began in Hawaii in September 2016. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle premiered at the Grand Rex in Paris on December 5, 2017, and was theatrically released in the United States on December 20, 2017. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who called it a "pleasant surprise" and praised the cast.[8] The film has grossed $937 million worldwide, making it the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2017 and the 44th-highest-grossing film of all time.
Plot
In 1996, in Brantford, New Hampshire, picking up from the previous film's ending, teenager Alex Vreeke receives the Jumanji board game, found by his father on a beach after it was thrown over a bridge by Alan Parrish and Sarah Whittle in 1969. When Alex receives the game, he asks himself, "Who plays board games anymore?". The game, sensing Alex's interest in video games, magically transforms into a video game cartridge which catches Alex's attention the next morning. As he plays it, he is teleported into the game.
Twenty years later in 2016, four students in Brantford High School are placed in detention together: Spencer Gilpin, who was caught writing essays for his former friend, Anthony "Fridge" Johnson, who is also in detention for the plagiarism and has been kicked off the football team; Bethany Walker, who disrespected a teacher during her English class over a phone call; and Martha Kaply, who refused to participate in P.E. class, making it worse by insulting her instructor. As punishment, their principal orders them to clean out the school basement while "thinking about what to do with their one life". While cleaning the four find Jumanji, a multiplayer action-adventure video game. After being unable to select one of the playable characters, they each select an avatar. When Spencer hits Start, the four are sucked into the game.
They find themselves in a jungle each now in the forms of their game avatars. Spencer is a tough, muscular explorer named Dr. Smolder Bravestone; Fridge is a short zoologist named Franklin "Mouse" Finbar, whom he had selected upon misreading the name as "Moose"; Bethany is an overweight male cartographer named Professor Sheldon "Shelly" Oberon; and Martha is a gorgeous commando and martial arts expert named Ruby Roundhouse. They soon realize that they are in the game and each have three lives. If they lose all three, Spencer concludes they die for real. Each of them also have special skills and weaknesses.
They learn from Nigel, an NPC guide, that the big-game hunter, Russel Van Pelt, wants to obtain a jewel, the "Jaguar's Eye," allowing him to manipulate Jumanji's animals. To escape the game, the players must return it to an enormous jaguar statue and call out "Jumanji" (the latter is the only remnant of Jumanji's board game origins). Along the way the group begins to lose lives through various means when completing game levels of increasing difficulty. The group starts working together to obtain a clue from a snake at a bazaar but are cornered by Van Pelt's men. They are rescued by Alex, the fifth player, whose avatar is a pilot named Jefferson "Seaplane" McDonough. Alex, thinking he has only been in the game for a few months, learns he has been in the game for twenty years. Recuperating in a tree house built by Alan Parrish, the newcomers vow to help him return home. Working together, the group breaks into a transportation shed, commandeering a helicopter to fly to the jaguar statue and return the jewel. Upon landing Alex loses his last life after a mosquito bites him, but Bethany performs CPR in time and saves him by transferring one of her lives to him.
Arriving at the statue the players find themselves facing Van Pelt's forces and predatory guards, a pack of jaguars. Using their resources and teamwork, the players distract the villain while Spencer and Martha tries to return the jewel to the statue. Martha seemingly comes to a dead end upon reaching a pit of venomous snakes but uses this to get the jewel to Spencer. The game ends with all the players on one life each and they all call out the game’s name, with Van Pelt disintegrating into many rats, and Nigel allowing the players to revert to their former selves and return to the real world, though Alex does not appear with them. On their way to the Vreeke household (once the neglected home of Alex's father "Old Man" Vreeke), they discover it has been restored. An adult Alex appears; he returned to 1996, and history was changed. He is now married and has named his eldest daughter after Bethany out of gratitude for saving his life.
Spencer and Fridge reconcile, Bethany becomes a better person and makes plans to go backpacking for another adventurous encounter, Martha starts dating Spencer, and the teens are now friends after their experiences in the game. The four hear Jumanji's drumbeats and take the game behind the school where Fridge destroys it with a bowling ball they found in detention to prevent anyone from playing it again.
Cast
- Dwayne Johnson as Dr. Smolder Bravestone, an archaeologist and explorer who is Spencer's avatar. Bravestone's strengths are stamina, courage, reflexes, climbing, smoldering intensity, and boomerang throwing. Being the archetypically masculine, intelligent, and courageous video game hero of the story, he apparently has no weaknesses. He is credited as "Spencer".
- Alex Wolff as Spencer Gilpin, a nerdy gamer at Brantford High School who goes to detention with Fridge, Martha, and Bethany, for writing Fridge's homework for him; he discovers the Jumanji video game. He later becomes Martha's love interest. He is credited as "Young Spencer".
- Jack Black as Professor Sheldon "Shelly" Oberon, a cartographer, cryptographer, archaeologist and paleontologist who is Bethany's avatar after mistaking the character's presented name ("Shelly") for that of a woman, respectively. Though Oberon's strengths are his fields of expertise, because of his state of being as "an overweight, middle-aged man", he lacks in endurance. He/she is credited as "Bethany".
- Madison Iseman as Bethany Walker, a pretty and popular yet narcissistic and self-centered teenage girl at Brantford High School who goes to detention with Spencer, Fridge, and Martha, after talking on her phone during a quiz and displaying an arrogant contempt towards her class in the process. She is credited as "Young Bethany".
- Kevin Hart as Franklin "Mouse" Finbar, a zoologist and weapons specialist who is Fridge's avatar due to the game's font causing Fridge to misread the character's nickname as "Moose". Finbar's status as weapons specialist makes him Bravestone's weapon valet (having everything Bravestone needs in his signature backpack). He is nicknamed "Mouse" for his short stature; though it degrades him of speed and strength, Fridge uses this (more specifically, the nickname birthed from it) in the climax of the film to rendezvous with the others on the back of an elephant that was charging at him earlier. Cake is another weakness of his and makes him explode, therefore killing him. He is credited as "Fridge".
- Ser'Darius Blain as Anthony "Fridge" Johnson, a Brantford High School football jock who lacks confidence to succeed academically and goes to detention with Spencer, Martha, and Bethany for having Spencer write his essays for him and is also kicked off his football team. He discovers the bowling ball in detention that he uses to destroy the game at the end of the film. He is credited as "Young Fridge".
- Karen Gillan as Ruby Roundhouse, a commando, martial artist, and dance fighter who is Martha's avatar (after Martha was peer-pressured into playing with the others). Roundhouse is proficient in karate, tai chi, jujutsu and dance fighting. Similar to Bravestone, Roundhouse is the archetypically intelligent, athletic, beautiful, and scantily clad video game heroine of the story, with her only weakness being venom, such as that found in various animals in the game. She is credited as "Martha".
- Morgan Turner as Martha Kaply, a teenage girl at Brantford High School who goes to detention with Spencer, Fridge, and Bethany, for objecting to physical education class and disregarding her teacher. She later becomes Spencer's love-interest. She is credited as "Young Martha".
- Nick Jonas as Jefferson "Seaplane" McDonough, Alex Vreeke's avatar. McDonough is a mysterious guide, adventurer, and pilot in the game, who waits for and joins the other avatars as they attempt to escape Jumanji. McDonough's strengths are piloting and making margaritas that "Mouse"/"Fridge" takes a liking to. His only weakness is mosquito bites, which is bad for him and all the more ironic since the jungle, being a tropical one, is teeming with mosquitoes. He is credited as "Alex".[9] During his twenty-year absence, he lives in a treehouse built and once occupied by Alan Parrish (previously portrayed by Robin Williams and Adam Hann-Byrd in the 1995 film Jumanji).
- Mason Guccione as Alex Vreeke, a teenage boy who played, and was trapped inside, the Jumanji video game for 20 years. He is credited as "Young Alex". Colin Hanks portrays adult Alex Vreeke after he returns to 1996 and appears 20 years later, changing history as a result. Out of gratitude for Bethany saving his life, he named her daughter after her.
Jumanji
- Bobby Cannavale as Russel Van Pelt, a corrupt explorer seeking to control the "Jaguar's Eye", whose power he is demonically possessed by. He is the boss of the film's video game scenario; Jonathan Hyde played a different version of Van Pelt in the 1995 film. He has the ability to control animals/creatures in the game.
- NPCs in the game include:
- Rhys Darby as Nigel Billingsley, the main guide in the game.
- William Tokarsky as an NPC food trader at the place of his name in the credits: Bread/Cake vendor.
- Rohan Chand as the boy at Bazaar, a young NPC guide who leads Spencer, Fridge, Martha, and Bethany to the black mamba's basket, which has the next clue.
Reality
- Marc Evan Jackson as Principal Bentley, the principal who makes Spencer, Bethany, Fridge, and Martha clean up the basement as part of their detention.
- Sean Buxton as Alex's Father / Jogger
- Tim Matheson as Older Alex's Father (Old Man Vreeke, uncredited)
- Maribeth Monroe as Bethany Walker's English teacher
- Missi Pyle as Coach Webb, Martha Kaply's physical education (PE) instructor
Production
Development
In July 2012, rumors emerged that a remake of the film Jumanji was being developed. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Columbia Pictures president Doug Belgrad said: "We're going to try and reimagine Jumanji and update it for the present."[10] On August 1, 2012, it was confirmed that Matthew Tolmach would produce the new version, alongside William Teitler, who produced the original film.[11]
In August 2015, Sony Pictures Entertainment announced that they had scheduled the film for a December 25, 2016 release.[12] Internet reception to this was negative, with some posters remarking that the announcement came too soon after the death of Robin Williams, who portrayed Alan Parrish from the original film, and had died in August 2014.[13][14] The news was heavily criticized by Bradley Pierce, who played Peter Shepherd in the original Jumanji, as well as by E! News, which stated that they felt that the remake was "unnecessary and kind of insulting".[15][16] On October 23, 2015, Scott Rosenberg was hired to rewrite the script for the film, whose production was a high priority for the studio.[17] On January 14, 2016, Deadline reported that Jake Kasdan had been hired to direct, from a script by Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner, based on a draft by original writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers.[18]
On April 15, 2016, Variety reported that Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart were in early talks to star in the film, though both actors had other projects to shoot, which might have created schedule conflicts.[19] Later in April, Johnson confirmed his casting through his Instagram account.[20] In July 2016, it was reported that Nick Jonas had joined the film's cast, along with the confirmed casting of Johnson, Hart, and Jack Black.[21] In August 2016, Johnson clarified that the film would not be a reboot, but a continuation of the 1995 film,[22] while Karen Gillan was also announced as having been cast.[23] On September 20, 2016, Ser'Darius Blain and Madison Iseman were cast in the film, with Blain playing Anthony "Fridge" Johnson and Iseman playing Bethany. Following them, on September 22, 2016, Rhys Darby, Morgan Turner, and Alex Wolff joined the cast, with Darby playing Nigel, Turner playing Martha, and Wolff playing Spencer.[24][25][26] In November 2016, Bobby Cannavale announced his casting in the film,[27] and in December 2016, Tim Matheson also joined the cast, playing Old Man Vreeke.[28]
James Newton Howard was originally attached to compose the film's score;[29] after the film's release date was pushed back half a year, he was replaced by Henry Jackman.[1]
In March 2017, during CinemaCon, it was announced that the complete title of the film is Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. The plot was revealed to involve teenagers cleaning out a school's basement who find a vintage video game version of Jumanji, and get sucked into the jungle setting of the first film. While many fans theorized whether the film was a sequel or a reboot, the second trailer, which was released on September 20, 2017, revealed that the film takes place over twenty years after the events of the first.
Filming
Principal photography began on September 19, 2016, in Honolulu, Hawaii,[19][30] primarily taking place in the Kualoa Ranch private nature reserve.[31] The film was then wrapped on December 8, 2016, in Atlanta, Georgia.[32]
Release
In August 2015, Sony set the film a release date of December 25, 2016.[33] As filming did not start until September 2016, the release was pushed back a year to July 28, 2017, and then to December 20, 2017.[2]
On November 29, 2017, it was announced Amazon Prime members in the United States would have early access to movie tickets for a single December 8, 2017, screening of the film, at select Regal, National Amusements, ArcLight Cinemas and AMC theaters.[34] The screenings ended up selling out at 1,200 theaters and making $1.9 million.[35] The film was released in IMAX 2D on January 12, 2018, for its first time in IMAX in the United States.
Home media
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was released on Digital HD March 6 and will be released on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray March 20. The Blu-ray and digital versions include two additional featurettes: “Surviving the Jungle: Spectacular Stunts!” and “Book to Board Game to Big Screen & Beyond!

Reception
Box office
As of March 12, 2018[update], Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle has grossed $397.6 million in the United States and Canada and $539.4 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $937 million.[4]
In the United States and Canada, the film was released on December 20, 2017 alongside The Greatest Showman and was projected to gross around $60 million from 3,765 theaters in its six-day opening weekend with the studio predicting a more conservative $45 million debut.[37][38] The film took in $7.2 million on its first day and $7.6 million on its second day. Over the three-day weekend, the film grossed $36.2 million (for a six-day total of $71.9 million), finishing second at the box office behind Star Wars: The Last Jedi.[5] During its second weekend, the film increased to $50.1 million, again finishing in second place at the box office.[39] The weekend-to-weekend increase of 38.4% marked the fourth-largest-ever for a film playing in over 3,000 theaters; fellow 2017 Christmas release The Greatest Showman coincidentally set the record for best hold the same weekend.[40][41] The film dethroned Star Wars: The Last Jedi for the top spot the following weekend, declining just 28.1% to $36 million[42] and finished first again the following week with $28.1 million (and a total of $35.2 million over the four-day MLK weekend).[43] Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle also remained at the top of the box office for its third weekend with $19.5 million.[44]
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle again topped the charts the following week with $20 million, despite two new releases in 12 Strong and Den of Thieves.[45] The following week it continued to hold well, dropping just 16% to $16.4 million, albeit finished second behind newcomer Maze Runner: The Death Cure,[46] and would regain the top spot once again the following weekend with $11.1 million to The Death Cure's $10.6 million.[47]
Critical response
On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 76% based on 181 reviews, and an average rating of 6.1/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle uses a charming cast and a humorous twist to offer an undemanding yet solidly entertaining update on its source material."[48] On Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average, the film has a normalized score of 58 out of 100, based on 44 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[49] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A–" on an A+ to F scale, while comScore reported filmgoers gave an 84% overall positive score.[5]
Dave White of TheWrap praised the cast and called the film a pleasant surprise saying "Jumanji: Welcome to The Jungle is the Christmas tentpole release that aims to please and succeeds, a funny family entertainment product that subverts more expectations than it was obligated to contractually".[50] David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a "C" and called it unnecessary but mildly amusing: "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is further proof that even the stalest whiff of brand recognition has become preferable to originality. Only part of the blame for that belongs to the studios but after cannibalizing themselves for much of the last 20 years, Hollywood has clearly eaten their way down to the crumbs".[51]
Writing for Variety, Owen Gleiberman was critical of the film saying "Excitement! Suspense! Childlike innocence! Ingeniously staged action set pieces! These are a few of the things you will not find, anywhere, in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle ... It's supposed to be a board game come to life but really, it's just a bored game".[52]
Sequel
Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black and Nick Jonas discussed in interviews what Jumanji 3 could be about, including the possibility of the film exploring the origins of the titular game. Karen Gillan has also said that the alternate ending for Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle would have left the door open for another installment.[53][54][55][56] In February 2018, it was announced that Kasdan would return to direct the sequel, with Rosenberg and Pinkner again writing the script and Johnson, Hart, Black and Gillan also reprising their roles.[57]
