The Lion King's strong circle of life has reached into a second weekend.
"The Lion King" rode its circle of life into a second weekend atop the box office and"Once Upon A Time ... In Hollywood," while not quite doing fairytale numbers, gave director Quentin Tarantino his biggest opening ever.
The film with Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie as denizens of a 1969 Los Angeles where old Hollywood was fading and the Manson family was rising was more star-powered than Tarantino's previous eight movies, though the director himself was as big a draw as anyone. But with all of that, the film's opening take was still nearly doubled by"The Lion King" and its broad appeal.
"The idea that remake burnout would be in effect for 'The Lion King' has not proven true," Dergarabedian said."Some brands are inoculated from that kind of negative speculation."
