‘Jumanji 3’ Release Date Moves to Christmas, One Week After ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ and ‘Dune 3’
Sony shifts Jumanji 3 to Christmas Day to avoid competition with Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three, targeting the lucrative holiday window that boosted prior sequels' earnings.
- Sony Pictures announced today that the latest Jumanji installment is moving from its planned December 11 release to Christmas Day, shifting one week after Avengers Doomsday and Dune Part Three debut on December 18.
- Moving the Dwayne Johnson-fronted film avoids direct competition with the December 18 'behemoth battle' between Avengers and Dune, mirroring the 2017 film's success when it opened a week after The Last Jedi.
- Franchise stars Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan return, produced by Matt Tolmach and Jake Kasdan, with the trilogy banking more than $2.02 billion since the 1995 original film starring Robin Williams.
- The film now joins a crowded Christmas Day lineup, facing competition from Robert Eggers' creature feature Werwulf and Paramount's Untitled John Tuggle Project about Mr. Irrelevant of the 1983 NFL Draft, while The Angry Birds Movie opens December 21.
- Filmmaker Jake Kasdan returns to direct and co-write the script with Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg, continuing the video game reboot concept that has defined the franchise since its 2017 reimagining.
