The question, “When doesJumanji 3come out?” finally has an answer as some crucial information has been released regarding the upcoming entry in theJumanjimovie franchise.TheJumanjimovie franchisehas proven to be a surprisingly successful one. You might not have guessed it based on the 52% onRotten Tomatoesof the 1995 original starring Robin Williams, butJumanji: Welcome to the Jungleearned $963 billion at the box office (viaBoxOfficeMojo) and the sequel,Jumanji: The Next Level, earned $802 million (viaBoxOfficeMojo).

While each of thesemovies is based on Chris Van Allsburg’s bookof the same name,the two most recent movies are considered a separate storyline. They’re not reboots, but they’re not direct sequels, either. The connective tissue comes from the game itself, which has magically turned into a video game in the more recent movies.So the next film in line is actually the fourth film in theJumanjifranchise, but it’s more likeJumanji 3, considering it will be a direct sequel ofThe Next Level, and there’s been some exciting news about the film.
