Jumanji has surpassed every superhero movie in 2017 at BO

Because no one expected Jumanji to do this well. Jurassic World ect. are really big franchises.

So if its an anomaly then why does it matter? You can't really derive a pattern from a single wayward blip.

When you get down to it, do any of the topics on the board really "matter"? We're not statisticians or researchers trying to analyse the box office returns. We just like talking about movies/comics/tv/etc. Jumanji was a movie that could have been awful, but turned out to be an enjoyable fun time that was much more successful than most of us would have guessed.

I don't think anyone is trying to derive a pattern it's just kinda amazing how well this movie did. But anomalies always matter like Neo in the matrix.
