For the second time this year, Dwayne Johnson is in the biggest movie in the United States and Canada.

After leading the summer box-office hit “Hobbs & Shaw,” he now stars in “Jumanji: The Next Level,” an adventure comedy distributed by Sony that grossed an estimated $60.1 million in domestic ticket sales Friday through Sunday. The film unseated “Frozen 2” to claim the top spot at the domestic box office.

In addition to bringing back Johnson, “Next Level” reunited Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan and Jack Black, the bankable cast who appeared in “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle,” a 2017 reboot that made about $404.5 million during its run in domestic theaters. “Next Level” is off to a good start in replicating that success — though it will have to compete with the Death Star-sized “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” premiering next week, which might kill its momentum.

In “Next Level,” the actors don’t exactly reprise their roles from “Welcome to the Jungle”: As avatars in a video game, they take on the mannerisms of the people who control them, and the new movie introduces gamers played by Danny DeVito and Danny Glover. (The Rock does a pretty good DeVito.)
