The sequel to 1995’s Jumanji ended up bringing in around $956 million worldwide, over 3.5x the worldwide gross of the original film from 1995.
The sequel to 2017’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle has been in development for some time, with writers Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner taking on the script.
The director of the previous film, Jake Kasdan (Orange County, Bad Teacher), is also returning to helm the new installment.
The film is currently eyeing a Christmas release date later this year, with production having started on January 21 in Atlanta and Hawaii and scheduled to run through April 26.
