Jungle Cruise starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt set off to a great start at the US box office and globally despite the increasing concerns relating to the delta variant of COVID-19. The film managed to earn USD 61.8 million in its worldwide opening weekend debut and including its earnings from the streaming release of Disney's platform that made USD 30 million, the film's worldwide total headed to a good USD 91.8 million.
