My guess is that it’s mainly the chemistry of the four leads in Jake Kasden’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.
But are audiences responding to the cast, or to the return of the game that sucks people in?
Or would they have to cook up a new Jumanji game that pulled in new players (like the franchise did for the original Jumanji, or even the space-based Zathura)?
If Sony were to make a follow up movie, would they follow this cast?
