In holdover news, Walt Disney’s Jungle Cruise earned $4.468 million (-67%) on its second Friday, setting the stage for a $14.6 million (-58%) second-weekend gross. That’ll give Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt’s $200 million (!!) adventure comedy a $64.4 million ten-day cume, meaning the $100 million mark is now in doubt.
The hope after a small-ish $34 million debut (lower than hoped in pre-Covid times, but frankly on par with Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Central Intelligence and Rampage) was that it would get legs on par with Raya and the Last Dragon ($55 million from an $8.5 million launch) or, more realistically, Cruella ($85 million from a $26.5 million Fri-Mon debut).
Alas, like Black Widow, it’s playing like a “normal” theatrical release in terms of legs.
