While 1995’s Jumanji follows the concept of the original children’s book more closely, its 2017 sequel, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, turns the board game into a video game and sucks the players into it instead. The only way to return to the real world after being teleported into the world of Jumanji is to complete the game. Despite these changes in its concept, Welcome to the Jungle was a box-office success, grossing over $950 million.
