Another film is in the works. lol. But reportedly NOT a sequel to Mufasa. Wonder what it'll be. So…. Mufasa WAS a success. Even before the box office run finished.

"I'm not going to pay attention to these very real numbers because I don't like them." Yes. Crossing 540 at this pace indicates it will come very close to 700. That's how box office projection/tracking works. They use historical data. Historical data of previous box office runs indicates it...

$540M. Yeah, looking like it'll leg out and sniff $700M. 100%. It is very well known that prequels aren't as strong at the box office. Even David A. Cross, who runs the movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research made a statement on Mufasa's opening. “Audiences like the movie, and...

Theater closures around the US really starting to show up on the dailies for all films Friday. A lot of big markets closed bc of the wildfires and snow storms. But, also hearing it was the slowest Friday in months. We’ll see how the films hold out this weekend.

All I know is there are experienced analysts out there saying that it'll flirt with the $700M mark when all is said and done. I'm not going to lie, (if it's not already clear) I am biased, was a huge fan of everything Lion King growing up and still am today. It's why I was over the moon hearing...

It's a totally fair assessment, and it will be a wait and see game for sure. There's just no way for us to tell what they're thinking. I still believe this could be a sustainable franchise if they had more budget control, but we know they don't. Even a $150M budget would bring its break even...

Encanto didn't even break even at the BO, but was revived by the soundtrack (which Mufasa's soundtrack itself has given the film a boost and has been hot) and VOD/Disney+ streaming numbers. Encanto is now receiving a sequel. Soundtrack streaming, VOD/Disney+ streaming, boosts in Lion King merch...

Deadline confirmed Mufasa crossed $500M this morning

The reason why some are bringing the break even point to $600M is because some outlets like Variety actually reported that the budget is north of $200M. I know it was definitely cheaper than 2019, but, we truly don't know by how much. So I think people were using 600 as a safe bet. Even so...

Mufasa also takes the week and weekend.

Since it has gone viral on places like TikTok, I know I’ve seen a lot of people going for repeat viewings. Like, people are literally gushing over this movie and the soundtrack over there, with millions and millions of likes. Polar opposite of a place like Twitter. I’ve gone a few times myself...

A film not made for IMAX… will not get any IMAX screens. That’s not how it works.

Yeah, this is going to make an impressive run in comparison to the rough start it had and surprise a lot of people.

They're not lying though. The replies to this topic online are just from people who have never followed the box office and want to pretend they know what they are talking about. The box office runs week by week. Mufasa made more money Christmas week domestically. Therefore, as of Christmas...

Don't have a video, but did ride yesterday and can confirm it is chasing again as of now.

I wonder how much different and smaller the attraction would be if it does ever make its way to DAK. Like, the DLP attraction does indeed look like a former Splash Mountain overlay idea. But obviously, DAK isn't going to build Splash Mountain 2. I guess it'd maybe be the size of something like...

Both the Disney Parks Blog post and the models on display at D23 showcase and indicate that this land is based off the animated film. The concept art has got to be recycled from another earlier idea they had.

Honestly, I was under the impression that the Lion King addition to DAK was far off from an announcement, but given this little detail in the D23 poster, am I wrong to assume this? I assumed Paris was going to be announced first, definitely didn't think both at the same event. I welcome it...

Just returned from a weekend at the parks - Magic Kingdom on Saturday and DHS Sunday. We survived. Absolutely brutal though. First thing I heard in Magic Kingdom when I entered was someone losing their lunch.
