How Jack Black tries to impose “Doomanji” in place of “Dunesday”

While Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part III are preparing to do battle at the box office on December 16, Jumanji 4 will be released a week later and intends to join in the fight…

Which film will be the hit of the end of 2026?

Two huge blockbusters will compete for greenbacks on December 16, with the simultaneous releases of Dune 3 And Avengers: Doomsday. A face-to-face meeting nicknamed “Dunesday” by the industry – a reference to “Barbenheimer”, the phenomenon born in 2023 from the release on the same day of barbie And Oppenheimer- but that Jack Black rejects!

The actor found something better: “Doomanji”.

In a promotional video published on the official account of the saga Jumanjihe proposes renaming the big cinematic confrontation of December to integrate the third part of the franchise, Jumanji: Welcome to our world (Jumanji: Open World) also expected in theaters during the holidays, but a week later.

Dressed as a safari-style explorer, Jack Black speaks directly to those who are already talking about “Dunesday”:

“I heard someone say: It’s going to be Dunesday. No, man, it’s going to be Doomanji!“

A small communication operation full of self-deprecation, which nevertheless suggests that the film which will really compete with the massive Avengers: Doomsday will not be Denis Villeneuve’s SF epic, but rather the family action comedy in which he co-stars with Dwayne Johnson. “Get ready for Doomanji“, delivers this message unambiguously.

And on a financial level, it’s even quite probable: both Jumanji starring Jack Black grossed $1.76 billion at the worldwide box office, compared to $1.14 billion for the first two Dune with Timothée Chalamet….

Directed by Jake Kasdan, Jumanji: Welcome to our world will conclude the trilogy initiated with Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. The film will be released in France on December 23.
