‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ Hopes To Roar $66M+ Opening Or More – Box Office Early Look
Six weekend projection from Quorum has 'Mufasa: The Lion King' at $66M+
On the Quorum ‘Pay to See’ scale — meaning audiences polled who’ll actually shell out money to get off the couch– Mufasa roars with a 62, a number that’s up there with the Thanksgiving holy trinity of Wicked(64), Gladiator II(63) and Moana 2(62). While the weekend before Christmas has been hope to some of the biggest openings of all-time, read the second best ever domestic start of Spider-Man: No Way Home at $260M (Dec. 17, 2021); it’s all about the 5-6x multiple that can be generated from a movie bowing in this corridor. The photorealistic animated movie is a prequel to the 2019 version, The Lion King, directed by Jon Favreau, which opened to $191.7M, and went on to gross $543.6M domestic, $1.66 billion global.
