When Alex claims to himself that board games are boring, the game, seeing Alex 's interest in video games, magically transforms into a video game cartridge which catches Alex 's attention the next morning. As he plays it he is teleported into the game. Twenty years later in 2016, four students in Brantford High School are placed in detention together : Spencer Gilpin, who was caught writing essays for his former friend, Anthony `` Fridge '' Johnson, who is also in detention for the plagiarism, Bethany Walker, and Martha Kaply, who have both disrespected their respective teachers during their respective classes. Bethany made a phone call in the middle of class and refused to end it after being ordered to by her English teacher, and Martha refused to join in on P.E. class because she considered it useless and made it worse by insulting the teacher. They were ridiculed for their actions and are assigned by the school 's principal to clear out its basement. While cleaning the four find Jumanji, a multiplayer action - adventure video game. One of the playable characters is inaccessible. When Spencer hits Start, the four are sucked into the game. They find themselves in a jungle each now in the forms of their game avatars. Spencer is a tough, muscular explorer named Dr. Smolder Bravestone, Fridge is a short zoologist named Franklin `` Mouse '' Finbar whom he had selected upon misreading the name as `` Moose, '' Martha is a gorgeous commando and martial arts expert named Ruby Roundhouse, and Bethany is an overweight, male cartographer named Professor Sheldon `` Shelly '' Oberon. They soon realize that they are in a video game and each have three lives. If they lose all three, Spencer concludes they die for real. Each of their avatars also comes with special skills and weaknesses. They learn from Nigel, an NPC guide, that the big - game hunter, Russel Van Pelt, wants to obtain a jewel, the `` Jaguar 's Eye, '' allowing him to manipulate Jumanji 's animals. To escape the game, the players must return it to an enormous jaguar statue and call out `` Jumanji ''. Along the way the group begins to lose lives through various means when completing game levels. The group starts working together to obtain a clue from a snake at a bazaar but are cornered by Van Pelt 's men. They are rescued by Alex, the fifth player, whose avatar is a pilot named Jefferson `` Seaplane '' McDonough. Recuperating in a tree house built by previous player Alan Parrish, the main character from Jumanji, the newcomers vow to help him return home. Alex, thinking he 'd only been in the game for a few months, learns that he has been in the game for twenty years. The group works together to break into a transportation shed, commandeer a helicopter, and fly for the jaguar statue to return the jewel. Upon landing Alex loses his last life after a mosquito bites him, but Bethany performs CPR in time and transfers one of her lives to Alex in the process of saving him from dying. Arriving at the statue the players find themselves facing Van Pelt 's forces and predatory guards. Using their resources and teamwork, the players distract the villains while Spencer returns the jewel to the statue, and they all call out the game 's name. The game ends, disintegrating Van Pelt into many rats and killing him, and the players revert to their former selves and return to the real world but discover that Alex did not come with them. On their way home they discover that the Vreeke household -- once the neglected home of Alex 's father `` Old Man '' Vreeke -- has been restored. An adult Alex appears ; he returned to 1996, and history was changed. He is now married and has named his eldest daughter after Bethany out of gratitude for saving his life. Spencer and Fridge reconcile, Bethany becomes a better person and makes plans to go backpacking for another adventurous encounter, Martha starts dating Spencer, and the teens are now friends after their experiences in the game. The four hear Jumanji 's drumbeats, but they take the game behind the school and destroy it with the bowling ball they found in detention to prevent anyone from playing it again.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Columbia Pictures president Doug Belgrad said : `` We 're going to try and reimagine Jumanji and update it for the present. '' On August 1, 2012, it was confirmed that Matthew Tolmach would produce the new version, alongside William Teitler, who produced the original film. In August 2015, Sony Pictures Entertainment announced that they had scheduled the film for a December 25, 2016 release. Internet reception to this was negative, with some posters remarking that the announcement came too soon after the death of Robin Williams, who portrayed Alan Parrish from the original film, and had died in August 2014. The news was heavily criticized by Bradley Pierce, who played Peter Shepherd in the original Jumanji, as well as by E ! News, which stated that they felt that the remake was `` unnecessary and kind of insulting ''. On October 23, 2015, Scott Rosenberg was hired to rewrite the script for the film, whose production was a high priority for the studio. On January 14, 2016, Deadline reported that Jake Kasdan had been hired to direct, from a script by Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner, based on a draft by original writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. On April 15, 2016, Variety reported that Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart were in early talks to star in the film, though both actors had other projects to shoot, which might have created schedule conflicts. Later in April, Johnson confirmed his casting through his Instagram account. In July 2016, it was reported that Nick Jonas had joined the film 's cast, along with the confirmed casting of Johnson, Hart, and Jack Black. In August 2016, Johnson clarified that the film would not be a reboot, but a continuation of the 1995 film, while Karen Gillan was also announced as having been cast. On September 20, 2016, Ser'Darius Blain and Madison Iseman were cast in the film, with Blain playing Anthony `` Fridge '' Johnson and Iseman playing Bethany. Following them, on September 22, 2016, Rhys Darby, Morgan Turner, and Alex Wolff joined the cast, with Darby playing Nigel, Turner playing Martha, and Wolff playing Spencer. In November 2016, Bobby Cannavale announced his casting in the film, and in December 2016, Tim Matheson also joined the cast, playing Old Man Vreeke. James Newton Howard was originally attached to compose the film 's score ; after the film 's release date was pushed back half a year, he was replaced by Henry Jackman. In March 2017, during CinemaCon, it was announced that the complete title of the film is Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle. The plot was revealed to involve teenagers cleaning out a school 's basement who find a vintage video game version of Jumanji, and get sucked into the jungle setting of the first film. While many fans theorized whether the film was a sequel or a reboot, the second trailer, which was released on September 20, 2017, revealed that the film takes place over twenty years after the events of the first. Filming Principal photography began on September 19, 2016, in Honolulu, Hawaii, primarily taking place in the Kualoa Ranch private nature reserve. The film was then wrapped on December 8, 2016, in Atlanta, Georgia. Release In August 2015, Sony set the film a release date of December 25, 2016. As filming did not start until September 2016, the release was pushed back a year to July 28, 2017, and then to December 20, 2017. On November 29, 2017, it was announced Amazon Prime members in the United States would have early access to movie tickets for a single December 8, 2017, screening of the film, at select Regal, National Amusements, ArcLight Cinemas and AMC theaters. The screenings ended up selling out at 1,200 theaters and making $1.9 million. The film was released in IMAX 2D on January 12, 2018, for its first time in IMAX in the United States. Reception Box Office As of February 18, 2018, Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle has grossed $377.6 million in the United States and Canada and $527 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $904.6 million. In the United States and Canada, the film was released on December 20, 2017 alongside The Greatest Showman and was projected to gross around $60 million from 3,765 theaters in its six - day opening weekend with the studio predicting a more conservative $45 million debut. The film took in $7.2 million on its first day and $7.6 million on its second day. Over the three - day weekend, the film grossed $36.2 million ( for a six - day total of $71.9 million ), finishing second at the box office behind Star Wars : The Last Jedi. During its second weekend, the film increased to $50.1 million, again finishing in second place at the box office. The weekend - to - weekend increase of 38.4 % marked the 4th - largest ever for a film playing in over 3,000 theaters ; fellow 2017 Christmas release The Greatest Showman coincidently set record for best hold the same weekend. The film dethroned Star Wars : The Last Jedi for the top spot the following weekend, declining just 28.1 % to $36 million and finished first again the following week with $28.1 million ( and a total of $35.2 million over the four - day MLK weekend ). Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle also remained at the top of the box office for its third weekend with $19.5 million. Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle again topped the charts the following week with $20 million, despite two new releases in 12 Strong and Den of Thieves. The following week it continued to hold well, dropping just 16 % to $16.4 million, albeit finished second behind newcomer Maze Runner : The Death Cure, and would regain the top spot once again the following weekend with $11.1 million to The Death Cure 's $10.6 million. Critical response On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 76 % based on 180 reviews and an average rating of 6.1 / 10. The website 's critical consensus reads `` Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle uses a charming cast and a humorous twist to offer an undemanding yet solidly entertaining update on its source material ''. On Metacritic which uses a weighted average, the film has a score of 58 out of 100 based on 44 critics indicating `` mixed or average reviews ''. Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A -- '' on an A+ to F scale. Dave White of TheWrap praised the cast and called the film a pleasant surprise saying `` Jumanji : Welcome to The Jungle is the Christmas tentpole release that aims to please and succeeds, a funny family entertainment product that subverts more expectations than it was obligated to contractually ''. David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a `` C '' and called it unnecessary but mildly amusing : `` Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle is further proof that even the stalest whiff of brand recognition has become preferable to originality. Only part of the blame for that belongs to the studios but after cannibalizing themselves for much of the last 20 years, Hollywood has clearly eaten their way down to the crumbs ''. Writing for Variety, Owen Gleiberman was critical of the film saying `` Excitement ! Suspense ! Childlike innocence ! Ingeniously staged action set pieces ! These are a few of the things you will not find, anywhere, in Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle... It 's supposed to be a board game come to life but really, it 's just a bored game ''. Sequel Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black and Nick Jonas have discussed in interviews what a possible Jumanji 3 would be about including the possibility of the film exploring the origins of the titular game. Karen Gillan has also said that the alternate ending for Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle would have left the door open for another installment. In February 2018, it was announced that Kasdan, Rosenberg and Pinkner would return to direct and write the sequel, respectively. Johnson, Hart, Black and Gillan will reprise their roles.
