Mufasa: The Lion King, initially facing concerns about its box office performance, has made a remarkable comeback. The film has exceeded its opening weekend earnings and secured the top spot in its third weekend. With a domestic total of $174 million and a global gross of $481 million, it has become one of the highest-grossing musicals and movies of 2024.
After starting slow at the box office with only a $35 million opening, it looked like Mufasa: The Lion King was on its way to becoming one of the biggest flops of the year at the box office. However, the film has since turned things around, earning more in its second weekend than it did in its premiere, and even taking the #1 spot during its third weekend in theaters.
In addition to being one of the highest-grossing musicals ever, Mufasa: The Lion King is also one of the top 15 highest-grossing movies of 2024 at the domestic box office, currently sitting in the #13 spot at the time of writing ahead of Kingdom of the Plant of the Apes, but still $20 million behind its biggest competitor, Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
