It is doing quite well now. $219m worldwide after 12 days on a $90m budget. I honestly expected it to be a flop, but it got decent reviews and is doing well at the box office. I might just go see it next weekend since I liked the original and like the cast of this reboot. 

2nd weekend is most likely up over the first weekend because they released it too close to Star Wars.

Actually it did more than 320m worldwide in 12 days since the count of the week was made public not long ago. Probably around the time of your post. 500m is already a given to be reached in 2 weeks or so. Whether it can reach 600m, could still be possible. And on a 90m budget, 50 marketing, Sony keeping half of the gross it probably will make over a 100m in pure profit, not to forget income from any merchandise and home media down the line. Also besides all of this its a very fun movie on its own. 

Although early success is quite encouraging but i m still not sold that it will do above $250m in the domestic market after $32m first week. I have seen many movies falling suddenly on the box office after some good early run. So its quite possible that Jumanji after doing 170m in first 9 days only do 30m in the next 90 days. especially how it manages after the holidays are over.
