Disney release its latest movie, Jungle Cruise, which makes its debut at the top of the North American box office with little in the way of competition.

Beating all expectations indie movie The Green Knight makes its debut at number 2 while rounding out the top 5 is the new Matt Damon movie Stillwater.

A new trailer and poster has been released from Disney studios for their upcoming movie Jungle Cruise which you can see to the right and below.

Like Pirates Of The Caribbean the movie is based on a ride at the Disneyland resort in Anaheim California, there are 4 movies in the Pirates series which went on to gross over a Billion dollars each so hopes might be quite high for this, especially as Johnson and Blunt are two of the biggest stars around at the moment.
