The intrepid players of "Jumanji: next level" have dethroned Queen Elsa at the head of the North American box office, according to final figures published Monday by the specialized company Exhibitor Relations.

Sequel to "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" (2017), the adventure film, which features young people propelled in a video game, with among others Dwayne Johnson and Jack Black, earned $ 59.2 million in Friday to Sunday for its release in theaters in the United States and Canada.

He steals the show at "Reine des Neiges 2", which sat for three weeks at the top of the box office.

The Disney animated film still pocketed $ 19 million this weekend, bringing all of its North American revenues to $ 366 million since its release. Globally, "Frozen 2" has garnered over a billion dollars in revenue.

In a completely different register, the police comedy "A couteaux tirés", with Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis and Chris Evans, slipped to the third step of the podium. The film, which stages an incredible investigation after the death of an octogenarian author of thrillers, raised $ 9.1 million for its third week in the cinema, for a total of 78.8 million.

"The Richard Jewell Case", released in theaters this week, is fourth with $ 4.68 million. This film by Clint Eastwood is inspired by the story of a former police officer who was heroic after finding the backpack containing an explosive device in Atlanta during the 1996 Summer Olympics, then wrongly suspected of being the perpetrator of this aborted attack.

"Black Christmas", the second remake of a Canadian horror film about a murder in a university sorority, points to its release in fifth place at the box office, with $ 4.2 million.

Here's the rest of the Top 10:

6- "Le Mans 66": $ 4.1 million ($ 98.2 million in five weeks);

7- "Queen & Slim": 3.6 million (33.1 in three weeks);
