It’s shaping up to be a merry holiday season for “Jumanji: The Next Level.” Sony’s adventure sequel debuted in first place to $60.1 million, dethroning “Frozen” after three consecutive weeks as box office champ.
“Richard Jewell,” the latest offering from director Clint Eastwood, tumbled out of the gate in fourth place with $5 million from 2,502 theaters. Those uninspired receipts rank among the worst in recent history for Eastwood and mount to Warner Bros. rocky box office fortunes after “Doctor Sleep,” “The Good Liar” and “Motherless Brooklyn” stumbled in recent weeks. “Richard Jewell” is the studio’s eighth movie in 2019 to debut to less than $10 million.
“It seems like a soft weekend overall. Perhaps people are busy in school,” said Jim Orr, Universal’s president of domestic distribution. “With the nature of this time of year, even with a modest opening, we might get better than normal legs and have a decent run over the holidays.”

Meanwhile Jewell gets and A+ CinemaScore while Black Christmas earns a D+. I don't think there are enough movie going young people who are old enough to remember the Jewel story. I doubt Eastwood thought it would be a major hit. It's still an important movie about the problem with overzealous FBI

Box Office: 'Jumanji 2' Heads for $45M-Plus Debut, 'Richard Jewell' StrugglesUnless RichardJewell picks up at the box office, it will mark one of the worst nationwide openings of Clint Eastwood's directing career Maybe he should have thought about that while fabricating that an actual, real life reporter slept with someone for a story. He can go sit in his empty chair. Eastwood is the biggest legend in Hollywood. And they hate that. I’m slightly interested in the subject matter but have zero interest in doing anything to support Clint Eastwood after her revealed himself as a hack at the GOP convention.

Box Office: 'Jumanji 2' Heads for Merry $50M-Plus, 'Richard Jewell' Falls Flat'Richard Jewell' could mark one of worst nationwide openings of Clint Eastwood's directing career and the lowest in two decades. 'Black Christmas' is also getting scrooged. This had bust written all over it from day one. Theatrical releases will only success if they’re comic book blockbusters or shock movies like Joker. Movies about history and what not or mr Rodgers etc should stick to streaming. The libs are pissed. Lol I do not go to movies anymore I buy them when they hit Amazon Video. I love Clints movies and will purchase this one as well.😊

The Big Lie of ‘Richard Jewell’ (Column)For a man who was so enraged at the administration of Barack Obama that he spent his 2012 Republican Convention speech lecturing an empty chair, Clint Eastwood has made a number of conventional, le… Have you guys done an equally triggered article about the lies of the journalists who pretty much ruined an innocent man's life? A lot of the left leaning media don’t like Eastwood’s politics and won’t judge his films based on their own merits. In their mind a film isn’t valid unless it lines up with their personal politics. This started with Gran Torino and is gradually getting worse w/every Eastwood film What about the journalists who ruined Richard Jewell’s life?
