The Lion King has emerged as a success story in India. Just a few weeks back it was Spider-Man: Far From Home which spun its magic in India and now it is the turn of The Lion King to do even better. On Sunday, it accumulated a massive 24.54 crores, which is indeed huge for a computer generated film. Audiences came in hordes across the country to watch the visual spectacle and that resulted in houseful signs for quite a few shows at number of centers.
The film has gathered a huge 54.75 crores already which is far bigger than what The Jungle Book had collected in its opening weekend [40.19 crores] back in 2016. That film had stayed ultra stable right through the weekdays too, as a result of which the first week billing read as 74.63 crores. The weekend trend shows that The Lion King would enjoy good weekdays well , as a result of which one can well expect good collections rolling into the second weekend too despite the release of new Hindi films.
