Better performance than previous parts and upcoming challenges
A positive aspect is that “Welcome to the Jungle” is doing much better than the previous releases of this franchise – “Welcome” (2007) and “Welcome Back” (2015). However, the film’s journey at the box office may prove difficult going forward. Big films like “Alpha”, “Dhamaal 4”, “The Odyssey” and Hollywood’s most awaited “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” are slated to hit the theaters soon, which can put a direct brake on the earnings of ‘Welcome 3’.

Does anyone expect logic in superhit films by stalwarts like Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, Leslie Nielsen or Steve Martin or even films like ‘Dumb and Dumber’?
