It was surprisingly good and worth a watch if you like those types of movies.
It's a good time. We see old movie releases all the time in the theater. I remember seeing Empire Strikes Back at a theater during COVID. We had a private screening. It was really fun.
One of the best things theaters have been doing for a while now.
Mufasa is still in a couple dozen theaters pulling in a few hundred bucks per day heading in to Easter weekend, but I don't think we should wait any longer to do a final summary that Christmas movie.
Mufasa made about $40 Million in profit.
I think this is a good example of how daunting those huge $200+ Million production budgets are for all of Disney's various flagship studios. You really need to get closer to a Billion in global box office to start pulling in decent profit for mega-budgets like Mufasa. Especially when you consider the foreign box office generally nets an American studio only about 40% of the ticket sales, compared to the 60% of ticket sales American box office sends to Burbank.
Here's how that 2024 money maker looked for Burbank...
Mufasa: $200 Production, $100 Marketing, $153 Domestic, $186 Overseas = $39 Million Profit

I'm going with my buddy and his two sons (his oldest is one of my Godsons) on Saturday.
My original post somehow got deleted in the cleanup, so allow me to piggyback on yours to state again how much I enjoyed Anora (one of the best films I’ve seen in recent years), how deserving I feel it is of the accolades it’s received, and how highly I recommend it to those who don’t mind gritty, mature content.
Makes sense. Whenever I see excessive gore warnings I tend to stay away.
I do the same with excess nudity and profanity. I've found excess gore gets stupid and ridiculous after a while.
Don't ever watch Succession! The only adjective they know is the f-word - makes no difference what is being described lol.
My Wife is the same as you…. Sometimes I will watch a movie first to see if it would be tough for her to sit through…. Which I did for The Substance…. Which my wife watched anyway despite my warnings after seeing all the awards attention it was getting…,it actually became one of her favorite films of last year
For me, it’s realistic violence or gore. Stuff like The Walking Dead is so fake it’s mostly (not all) funny.
Nah...once what's his face showed up and smashed what's his face with a bat, I was done....
That’s why I included “(not all).” I knew in advance and skipped that episode. But I heard they lost half their audience with that episode.
Child or animal torture is really the only thing for me that gives me pause. Now if I were to see some of the stuff in movies in real life? No way, but on a screen knowing it is all fake, sure.
