This more or less checks out, as pandemic-adjusted projections for the adventure flick had it coming in the range of $25 to $30 million. Directed by Spanish filmmaker\u00a0<strong>Jaume Collet-Serra<\/strong>\u00a0(<em>Non-Stop<\/em>, <em>The Shallows<\/em>,\u00a0<em>The\u00a0<\/em><em>Commuter<\/em>) and topping out worldwide at $61.8 million, the tentative hopes and plans for <em>Jungle Cruise<\/em>\u00a0was for it to pull a <em>Pirates of the Caribbean<\/em>\u00a0and spawn its own series of sequels that might even justify a new shared universe.<\/p>\n<p><!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post --><\/p>\n<p>Are those plans still viable? Well, it\u2019s tricky. According to THR, this past weekend\u2019s box office bottomed out at fully half of the same revenue pulled in during the same weekend in 2019, which was the last moviegoing year unaffected by the pandemic. S<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>ped of context, a $34 million domestic opening tally for a\u00a0$200 million-budgeted blockbuster would be a disaster\u00a0(to say nothing of a Disney blockbuster, which maintains a whole other standard of performance). That\u2019s undoubtedly why Disney keeps including its $30 Premier Access rentals from their streaming service, which <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>arently adds another $30 million to the <em>Jungle Cruise<\/em> numbers and evens out to a much more pleasant-looking (though still not <em>great<\/em>) worldwide haul of $91.8 million. A very confident Johnson is certainly proceeding as if <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheRock\/status\/1421641599612702724\">a sequel is a foregone conclusion<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The added complication to all of this, of course, is <strong>Marvel<\/strong> star <strong>Scarlett Johansson\u2019s<\/strong> ongoing lawsuit filed against Disney for breach of contract regarding their day-and-date release strategy of <em><strong>Black Widow<\/strong><\/em>. For his part, <strong>Dwayne Johnson<\/strong>\u00a0is apparently satisfied with the hybrid theatrical\/Disney+ release for <em>Jungle Cruise<\/em> and has no plans to follow suit with legal action of his own. It remains to be seen what reverberations Johansson\u2019s extremely justified reaction will have on the rest of the industry.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-687531 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/the-green-knight-e1627262268869-700x299.jpeg\" alt=\"the green knight review\" width=\"700\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/the-green-knight-e1627262268869-700x300.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/the-green-knight-e1627262268869-360x154.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/the-green-knight-e1627262268869-768x328.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/the-green-knight-e1627262268869.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"All_Things_Indie\"><\/span>All Things Indie<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another highly-anticipated film (among indie circles, at least) released this past weekend as well.\u00a0<strong>David Lowery\u2019s<\/strong> <em><strong>The Green Knight<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0also beat projections, for a film of its size and intended demographic at least, with $6.78 million domestic.
