Jumanji still #1, 12 Strong #2


For the weekend of January 19-21, 2018, Jumanji fought off all newcomers to be #1 again. (I'm surprised they haven't announced a sequel yet, but then Dwayne Johnson has a TV series and his next five movies lined up.) It's now grossed over $760 million worldwide.

Of the 2018 titles, 12 Strong followed the January tradition of War on Terror movies being released, though it's been diminishing returns since the days of American Sniper and Lone Survivor. 12 Hours did better than Patriots Day and about as well as 13 Hours.

Oscar hopefuls Phantom Thread and Call Me By Your Name expanded, but they couldn't find an audience. Maybe if they'd waited a week after nominations have been announced...

It's pretty impressive how The Greatest Showman is still in the top five. It looked like it might lose money after its low opening but it's been a real crowd-pleaser.

The Last Jedi has now grossed about $1.3 billion worldwide.

Coco has grossed $200 million domestically for a worldwide total of $655 million.



Opens January 26
MAZE RUNNER: DEATH CURE with Dylan O'Brien and Thomas Brodie-Sangster.
