'Jumanji' Rolls For Third Box Office Victory
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Jumanji remains welcome in the box-office jungle.
The family film, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, starring Dwayne Johnson, made it three January weekends in a row on top, earning an estimated $20 million for another first-place finish.
The runner-up was the debuting military drama, 12 Strong, with Chris Hemsworth. It took in $17 million.
In third place was the new action thriller, Den of Thieves, with a total of $15 million.
And rounding out the top five were two holdovers: director Steven Spielberg's journalism drama, The Post, starring Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks, with $12 million, and the musical drama, The Greatest Showman, starring Hugh Jackman, with $11 million.
Overall, industry-wide totals were well below those of last weekend, as well as those of a year ago.
