The “Jungle Cruise” is setting sail again. A sequel to the adventure movie, based on the theme park ride, is in the works after “Jungle Cruise” crossed US$100 million at the U.S. box office this past weekend.

Dynamic duo Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt will be back for another adventure as the pun-obsessed riverboat captain Frank Wolff and the brave explorer Dr. Lily Houghton.

Director Jaume Collet-Serra is expected to return, as are executive producer Scott Sheldon and producers John Davis, John Fox, Beau Flynn, Johnson, Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia. Michael Green, who co-wrote “Jungle Cruise” with Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, will write the sequel.

“Jungle Cruise” launched on July 30, both in U.S. theaters and on Disney Plus Premier Access. In its opening weekend, it took in US$34.2 million in ticket sales from U.S. theaters and US$30 million from Disney Plus, the company reported. The film kept afloat at the box office, climbing its way to US$100 million in the United States after its fifth weekend. At the worldwide box office, its total is US$187 million. (SD-Agencies)
