Sony and Disney had a nice box office weekend as"Jumanji: The Next Level" exceeded expectations and"Frozen 2" crossed $1 billion.

The film, which stars Dwayne"The Rock" Johnson and Kevin Hart, nearly doubled the opening of"Welcome to the Jungle," which would eventually go on to make nearly $1 billion two years ago. Industry experts had predicted that"Next Level" would make around $45 million while Sony was more conservative with its forecasts at $35 million.

"'Welcome to the Jungle' delivered exactly what audiences wanted in a reboot two years ago. This film took that popularity, I guess you could say, to the next level," Dergarabedian told CNN Business."It's got a great cast, it's a lot of fun and it's just a perfect popcorn movie for the holiday season.""Frozen 2," the studio's follow up to its frosty animated hit, broke the $1 billion mark at the global box office on Saturday.

Disney is the first studio to have that many $1 billion movies in a single year, and it's not done yet.
