Seven weeks on, 'Jumanji' returns to No. 1

NEW YORK – The heir to Titanic is ... Jumanji: Welcome the Jungle?

For the first time since James Cameron's disaster epic, a December release has topped the weekend box office in February. Seven weeks after opening in theaters, Jumanji again took the top spot at the box office with an estimated $11 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday.

On a sluggish Super Bowl weekend, that was good enough to surpass last week's No. 1 film, Maze Runner: The Death Cure. The third installment in the young-adult trilogy starring Dylan O'Brien slid 58% in its second week to $10.2 million in ticket sales.

It's the fourth weekend out of seven in which the Jumanji reboot, starring Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart, has led all films. It has carved an unlikely path en route to its record-setting run. Met with little initial fanfare, Jumanji played second fiddle for its first two weeks of release to Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
