This time, though, fans will be walking into The Next Level with high expectations (and some Star Wars fans will be walking into Rise of Skywalker still grumbling about The Last Jedi.)
The sequel is going for a similar trick, with The Next Level opening on December 13, a week before Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker.
Jumanji: The Next Level has a lot to live up to.
Expectations weren’t exactly sky-high for Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and it was a HUGE hit, going toe-to-toe with Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
