Mufasa: The Lion King surpasses $200 million in the global box office.
Newly released Disney animation, Mufasa: The Lion King, the prequel to Disney’s 2019 photorealistic remake, is showing signs of box office recovery after a disappointing debut. The film, which explores the origin story of Mufasa (Aaron Pierre) and his adopted brother Taka (Kelvin Harrison Jr.), opened with $35.4 million, falling short of its $50 million projection and behind *Sonic the Hedgehog 3* during the pre-Christmas weekend. However, Mufasa has since turned things around. On Christmas Day, it overtook Sonic the Hedgehog 3 to claim the No. 1 spot, earning $15 million compared to Sonic’s $10.7 million. The film’s global box office has already surpassed $150 million, reaching $154.8 million by Christmas Eve. While it still has room to grow, the film’s international earnings are expected to mirror its domestic growth, continuing the trend of its predecessor.
