The first trailer has been released. Looks like a train wreck IMO:

I was skeptical when I first heard about this, and The breakfast club setup didn't do much for me, but once in the jungle it looks like a pretty fun popcorn movie.

I think it will do pretty well. Especially with the combo of Jack Black and The Rock. Perfect family skewed popcorn flick for the holiday season.

Saw this last night. Basically, reuses the basic structure from the first one. I thought it was decent for what it is. I had a few laughs out of it, along with the rest of the audience. The adult cast worked well with each other.

This should surpass the total gross of the first movie in the next day or two.

Unadjusted of course.

Adjusted for inflation the original made about $160 million.

I think it will pass that number too.

Hope to see this in the next two weeks.

I’ve talked to a couple people who had fun watching the movie. Kinda agrees with what you wrote. Not Citizen Kane, but fun.

Saw it tonight and found it a very entertaining and enjoyable evening at the movie theater.

If you can last through the teenage cast at the beginning, this movie is really hilarious, Jack Black in particular. It is a really fun holiday movie. It will spawn no other serious discussion threads!

Jumanji - kinda entertaining, fun, with characters that mine their situations well given their transformation from their real life selves, and becoming avatars inside the game.

Saw this today and it was a perfectly adequate piece of action/comedy. Nothing that sticks with you when it finishes but it's entertaining enough.

Though I could probably watch 2 hours of Karen Gillan and be happy!

This is turning into a major blockbuster. Since Monday, it's been running ahead of Star Wars. From BO Mojo:

Saw it with MoviePass the day it opened and found myself really enjoying it. Silly and just fun. Just what I needed before the holidays.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly.
