'Jumanji: The Next Level' Levels Up With $60 Million Debut, 'Richard Jewell' Stumbles via SABCNewsOnline
Those ticket sales, at the higher end of industry projections, represent a healthy jump on its predecessor, 2017’s “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” . It also marks the highest debut for a December comedy, as well as the best start for live-action movie for stars Kevin Hart and Jack Black.
“Richard Jewell,” the latest offering from director Clint Eastwood, tumbled out of the gate in fourth place $5 million from 2,502 theaters. Those uninspired box office receipts rank among the worst in recent history for Eastwood. “Black Christmas,” a slasher film that opened on Friday the 13th, debuted at No. 5 and collected $4.4 million from 2,625 screens.
In third place, Lionsgate’s murder mystery “Knives Out” brought in another $9.25 million for a domestic tally of $78.9 million.
