The animated feature collected a strong $15.4 million on the 6th weekend overseas, dropping -24.3% from last weekend for a $405.6 million international cume over all 53 markets.
Adding the overseas cume to its $221.1 million cume in the United States, Mufasa: The Lion King reached a $626.7 million worldwide cume with an estimated production budget of $200 million.
