Wild ride: ‘Jumanji’ holds on to top spot at box office

Jan 22, 2018 | 4:34 PM

NEW YORK — “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” notched its third straight weekend on top of the box office, besting a pair of new releases — “12 Strong” and “Den of Thieves” — both of which still managed to slightly outperform expectations.

Sony’s “Jumanji” took in $19.5 million in ticket sales in its fifth weekend of releases, according to final box-office figures Monday. The reboot, starring Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart, has shown surprisingly strong legs after spending its first two weeks of release in second behind “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.” Its cumulative total through Sunday is $316.5 million.

Warner Bros.’ “12 Strong,” about U.S. special forces sent to Afghanistan in the weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, followed with $15.8 million in its debut. STX Entertainment’s crime thriller “Den of Thieves” debuted in third with $15.2 million.

The top 20 movies at U.S. and Canadian theatres Friday through Monday, followed by distribution studio, gross, number of theatre locations, average receipts per location, total gross and number of weeks in release, as compiled Monday by comScore:

1. “Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle,” Sony, $19,505,170, 3,704 locations, $5,266 average, $316,450,318, 5 weeks.
