PhotoAn unspectacular week at the box office led Sony’s “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” back to No. The action movie took in $27 million from Friday through Sunday to bring its domestic total to $283 million after four weeks. “Jumanji” also topped the Chinese box office and has made over $550 million worldwide; its success has cemented Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson as box office near-guarantees. Less successful was the Liam Neeson vehicle “The Commuter,” which opened to $13.4 million, according to comScore, which compiles box office data. That’s a far cry from “Taken 3,” which arrived the same calendar weekend in 2015 and took in $40.4 million.
