Weekend box office 10 - 12 January 2020: Major Oscar contender WWI drama 1917 has won the War of the Wars as it blew away The Rise of Skywalker in successful expansion.

Weekend box office report 3 - 5 January 2020: The year started like the previous one ended with Disney grabbing the headlines thanks to Star Wars and Frozen.

Weekend box office report 13 - 15 December 2019: Jumanji has taken things to the next level as it exceeded expectations with a $59.2 million US debut.

Ah, it may be the unluckiest of Fridays but a couple of movies - that could not be more different - will hope they get some good fortunes today. Or just make fortunes.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was easily the biggest cinematic surprise of 2017. There’s not much surprising about Jumanji: The Next Level though. If you want to lean fully into the video game trappings that the previous film employed so brilliantly to modernize this affair, this is not so much a sequel as it is extra downloadable content (DLC). DLC can still be fun though.

Jack Black has just dropped a bomb that he is considering an early retirement from the big screen.

It's time to head back into the world of Jumanji, and like all good videogames, The Next Level comes with an upgrade in danger (but also fun!).

Welcome to the jungle... again! Yes, the gang is all back together again for some video game world hijinx, but things are not the way you remember them!
