The Lion King has eviscerated a US box office record held by Harry Potter just three days after being released.
Also, Guy Ritchie’s version of Aladdin has proved the ultimate box office sleeper hit for Disney considering it’s extremely close to topping the $1b mark.
These takings position The Lion King – which features the voice work of Donald Glover, Beyoncé and Seth Rogen – as the seventh biggest film of the year so far and the biggest IMAX opening for a Disney film ever.
