Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle has knocked Star Wars: The Last Jedi off the top of the US Box Office and perhaps unexpectedly, so has Insidious 4.

After three weeks at the top, Rian Johnson’s Star Wars movie was felled by the Jumanji reboot, which took $36 million in its opening weekend, according to figures from Box Office Mojo.

In second place was the latest installment in the Insidious franchise, which has proved to be a bit of a hit.

Insidious: The Last Key took $29.6 million, meaning that it also beat out The Last Jedi, which took just $23 million this week.

Given that The Last Jedi has already made over a billion dollars at the worldwide box office, we doubt Disney is too concerned.

Fourth place goes to Hugh Jackman’s polarising but no less enjoyable The Greatest Showman ($13.8 millions), and fifth went to Pitch Perfect 3 ($10.2 million).

In at sixth place is John Cena animated vehicle Ferdinand ($7.7 million) and seventh went to Molly’s Game ($7 million).

Winston Churchill biopic Darkest Hour came in eighth place, taking $6.4 million and in at nine is the yet-to-be-released-in-the-UK Pixar animation Coco, which took $5.4 million.

Rounding off the top 10 is Ridley Scott’s much-discussed All the Money in the World, which famously saw Christopher Plummer replace Kevin Spacey after he was removed from the movie.

Check out the Jan. 1-7 figures below:

1. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle — $36 million

It’s another incredible weekend for Star Wars: The Last Jedi — as it maintains its top spot at the US box office and reaches a huge milestone in ticket sales.

The latest entry in the Star Wars film series has now passed $1 billion in ticket sales internationally and become the year’s biggest domestic box office hit, just three weeks after it debuted in cinemas around the world.

This milestone was reached thanks to The Last Jedi once again winning the US box office for the New Year holiday weekend, pulling in an impressive $52.4 million over the three-day period (via Box Office Mojo).

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is now only $15 million behind Rogue One: A Star Wars Story to overtake its spot as the seventh highest-grossing movie in US history.

The Last Jedi maintained its hold over the box office despite some stiff competition from Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, which only narrowly missed surpassing Star Wars with a $50.5 million haul.

Finishing in third place this weekend with $17.8 million is musical comedy Pitch Perfect 3, likely adding some more momentum to talk the series continuing with stars Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson.

The highest-charting newcomer of the week was Sir Ridley Scott’s All the Money in the World, in at the number-seven slot this week with $5.4 million.

Scott’s J. Paul Getty biopic has been a surprising critical success story of awards season, given that the filmmaker was forced to completely replace Kevin Spacey’s central performance mere weeks before release with new scenes starring Christopher Plummer.

Check out the Dec. 22-24 figures below:

1. Star Wars: The Last Jedi — $68.5 million ($100.7 million four-day)
2. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle — $34 million ($47.5 million four-day)
3. Pitch Perfect 3 — $20.5 million ($27 million four-day)
