After Disney hit some rough waters this week, the studio’s latest feature film, „Jungle Cruise,“ docked with some good results at the box office this weekend.
The film, which stars Dwayne „The Rock“ Johnson and Emily Blunt, opened to an estimated $61.8 million at the worldwide box office. That includes a better than expected $34.2 million at domestic theaters. But that’s not all. The film was released simultaneously on streaming via Disney+’s Premier Access for an additional charge of $29.99 — and brought in over $30 million globally on the platform. Overall, the film, which is based on the beloved Disney theme park ride, notched more than $90 million thanks to theater showings and streaming, according to the company. So, what does all of this mean? Well, that’s not as easy as it used to be to explain.
