The “Lion King” prequel arrived to weak ticket sales last month, but moviegoers have since embraced it, pushing global box office returns toward $700 million.

The Lion King is a top 10 hit on one Billboard chart, and it's come very close to reaching the Hot 100 this week.

Screenwriter Jeff Nathanson breaks down how 'Mufasa,' now in theaters, connects back to original 'Lion King' saga.

Per Deadline, Mufasa: The Lion King is projected to earn $11.5 million through Sunday and $15.5 million through the four-day MLK holiday weekend. If the estimate holds it will boost Mufasa’s running domestic tally to $209.7 million since its Dec. 20, 2024, opening.

Despite having completed a full month in theaters worldwide, Disney's Mufasa: The Lion King appears to have some life left. The big-budget film topped the domestic box office charts for the second time in its run this weekend,

If that's the case for Mufasa: The Lion King, it should be available to buy digitally from mid-to-late February 2025. You won't be able to rent it initially, but should be able to from the time it arrives on Disney+. While we wait for its streaming and digital release, Mufasa: The Lion King is only available to watch in cinemas.

It’s one of those weekends at the box office, with two new releases pawing at one another in a closer-than-expected race. Sony’s buddy comedy “One of Them Days” is coming in on the higher end of initial projections after earning $4.

Mufasa: The Lion King continues to roar at the box office, where it looks to beat One of Them Days - the first female-led Black comedy since 2017’s Girls Trip - over the long Martin Luther King Jr. holiday crown as Wolf Man gets gouged.
