2. Mufasa: The Lion King
Weekend gross: $11.5M
Total domestic gross: $205.8M
Last weekend: 2nd
Percent drop: 19
Yay, it only took Mufasa five weekends to accomplish what Jon Favreau’s The Lion King “live”-action remake a single weekend to do. At long last, Mufasa surpassed the $191.8 million that 2019’s Lion King grossed its opening weekend.
Can you feel that? The electricity in the air? That’s the exciting building for the live-action Moana remake thanks to Mufasa’s box office spectacle.
