Scroll below for the deets.
The weekend actuals for Mufasa came in higher, and it is nearing the $550 million mark worldwide. It was made on an estimated budget of $200 million and has crossed the break-even point. Kung Fu Panda 4 is the 8th highest-grossing film of 2024, but that will change soon. Mufasa surpassed Venom: The Last Dance’s $478.10 million worldwide collection.
Mufasa: The Lion King’s US gross this weekend is on par with Jumanji: The Next Level’s same weekend post-holiday number. It has collected $14.2 million during the 4th three-day weekend in the United States, as per Luiz Fernando’s report. The film has successfully hit the $189.8 million cume in North America, and the $200 million mark will be achieved by this weekend. The Disney sequel/prequel will collect $230 million to $260 million in the US.
It will soon surpass Bad Boys: Ride or Die’s $193.57 million domestic haul and Kung Fu Panda 4’s $193.59 million haul in the US and enter the top 10 list. Mufasa is also close to surpassing Kung Fu Panda 4 at the worldwide box office, and it is approximately $5.39 million away from beating it.
Mufasa: The Lion King grossed a strong $29.5 million overseas during its 4th weekend, and with that, the movie crossed the $350 million mark. It has reached a $352.5 million international cume over all the 53 markets. Added to the $189.8 million US cume, Mufasa hits $542.3 million worldwide. Meanwhile, Kung Fu Panda 4’s global total is $547.68 million. After beating the Dreamworks Animation film, it will become the 8th highest-grossing picture of 2024.
According to the report, it is eyeing a $650-$700 million global run, meaning Mufasa might end its theatrical journey as the 7th or 6th highest-grossing movie of last year.
