Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is the movie that just won't quit. After surpassing Spider-Man: Homecoming in the global box office last week, new estimates suggest the Sony reboot/sequel now has a chance to top $900 million worldwide.

According to Deadline, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle has grossed $895.37 million through Friday ($371.57M domestic / $523.8M international). Factoring in Saturday and Sunday grosses, it's believed the blockbuster film will now cross $900 million worldwide - and it has still yet to debut in Japan.

The international estimate for the three-day weekend will bring the int’l cume to $526.9M with domestic at $377.4M. That puts the jungle juggernaut at an estimated $904.3M through Sunday.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle has had an incredible run at the box office, surpassing all expectations with its earnings. The film currently sits in the No. 5 spot in 2017's worldwide charts, ahead of films such as Spider-Man: Homecoming, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Thor: Ragnarok, Justice League, and Logan. It also resides in the No. 5 spot in the domestic charts, trailing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Wonder Woman

With this weekend's box office factored in, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is now Sony's second highest grossing film of all time at the global box office, trailing only Skyfall ($1.1 billion). It surpassed Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3 ($890.9 million) this weekend. It's also the studio's second highest grossing film domestically, behind only Raimi's original Spider-Man ($403.7 million).

Simply put: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle has been an absolute beast for Sony and there will almost certainly be high expectations for the sequel.

OFF-TOPIC: Solo trailer did not play as strong on the big screen as I thought it would. Audience seemed...ehhh. Whereas I enjoyed Antman 2 much more on the big screen over my phone.

@IronGenesis - Hopefully the next trailer will be better. I still think Solo will end up surprising and be a good movie.

Alright, Japan. It's up to you to help Jumanji hot $1 billion worldwide.

**** me. The movie was good but not that good. I don't think it deserved that sort of success, but at least it beats another Transformers topping the charts.

Sadly this means Sony's movie division won't go bankrupt. That's the only downside to this.

Also, after seeing this movie it occurred to me that Madison Iseman would make a good Supergirl for the DCEU:

@Nightwing1015 - or maybe.. the next dc movie universe

@BloodyBed - If there even is a next DC movie universe. The DCEU is trying it's best to stop that.

It's really fascinating how much certain random-ass movies really [frick]ing take off. I expected 100-300 million for this movie and 62% on RT at the highest.
