Fresh for the phenomenal success of the 2017 Metro Manila Film
Festival, Columbia Pictures Philippines kicked off the new year with the highly-anticipated
showing of its 2018 starter "Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle" and it didn't disappoint
Filipino movie buffs as it fare big and well in local cinemas since it was
first shown on January 8, 2018.
According to figures from Columbia Pictures, the action-adventure film was
a smash hit in its first seven days in Philippine movie theaters, earning a
whopping Php115 million in box-office sales. It's not that bad considering that
it is performing better than the return of Star Wars: The Lost Jedi in local
cinemas. The movie has reached its US$300 million mark in international
box-office sales and grossed more than US$260 million in the US throughout its
24-day run.
