The Team Stands Together in a New "Jumanji: The Next Level" Picture

If there was a movie that took everyone by surprise it was Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle when it came out in 2017. No one was really expecting much from this sequel and the trailers were not exactly looking promising. The reviews were far from bad but no one was declaring it to be the best movie of the year. That didn't seem to matter as it kicked in the doors to the box office and made nearly a billion dollars by the time its run at the box office ended. No one was surprised when a sequel was not only greenlit but fast-tracked. Now we have Jumanji: The Next Level coming out this year and you can hear Sony Pictures pinning a lot of their holiday hopes on this movie is just as big as the last one. Fandango has posted their holiday preview and with it, we have a new picture from the movie.

However, if 2019 has taught us anything, it's that sequel to a movie that did extremely well is by no means a guarantee that the sequel will do well. Jumanji: The Next Level has some serious competition in December with Star Wars alone and plenty of movies that could be sleeper hits like 1917 or Little Women. Is there a place for this movie in a very crowded holiday season? We'll have to see.
