SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Ovation Brands'® portfolio of restaurants - Old Country Buffet®, Ryan's®, HomeTown® Buffet and Country Buffet® - and Furr's Fresh Buffet® are exploring the jungle for their latest Family Night program featuring the action adventure comedy Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. The buffet brands are partnering with Sony Pictures Home Entertainment for this six-week series that will include weekly themes centered on the film, such as the jungle, wildlife, video games and more.

"We strive to offer current content that is fun, engaging and educational for the kids and their families," said Mike Griffith, Director of Marketing for Ovation Brands® and Furr's Fresh Buffet®.

Jumanji, an all-time fan-favorite, classic film about a mythical board game, has been reimagined for the 21st century. The 2017 film, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, features Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan. In the film, four high schoolers are sucked into a mystical video game console where their lives – and their bodies – are completely transformed as they embark on a jungle adventure. The team must make it through Jumanji by working as a team to recover and return an ancient jewel in hopes of beating the game and returning home. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle will be available on Digital March 6 and on Blu-ray™ & DVD March 20.
The Jumanji Family Night series will feature a different theme based on the film every Thursday night. The following are the scheduled themes:
- February 8 - Welcome to the Jungle
- February 15 - Part of the Game
- February 22 - Wildlife Day
- March 1 - The Great Escape
- March 8 - Game Night
- March 15 - Brain Power
In addition to wholesome fun and games, Family Night also serves up home-style meals for kids and parents to enjoy together. Every Thursday, from 4 p.m. - close, kids eat for just $1.99 with the purchase of a regular-priced adult or senior meal. Menus may vary. Age restrictions apply.
