Mufasa: The Lion King is experiencing a better time in China and has also scored higher ratings on Maoyan than the 2019 predecessor. It has regained its #1 spot at the Chinese box office after earning winning numbers on Saturday. However, the film will come nowhere near the debut weekend collection of The Lion King in 2019. Scroll below for more.
The Disney movie also collected disappointing numbers at the US box office on its opening day and from Thursday previews. It is the prequel/sequel of the 2019 movie. The reviews are pretty positive, but still not enough to beat Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s debut. The movie also trails behind in terms of collections in India compared to its predecessor. There is too much competition for Mufasa in the cinemas, including another Disney sequel, Moana 2.
According to Luiz Fernando’s report in China, Mufasa: The Lion King is getting positive word of mouth, and as a result, it has climbed to #1 after grossing $3.6 million on Saturday. It saw a magnificent hike of 157% from Friday’s opening day when it played across over 86K screenings. The exhibitors hyped it up by increasing the number of screenings by 21K. Mufasa has hit a $5 million cume in two days at the box office in China.
