Assuming The Lion King cracks the higher end of those box office projections, it will earn its place amongst the biggest opening weekends ever at the box office.
Disney’s upcoming reimagining of The Lion King is poised to be one of the biggest hits of the summer, if early box office tracking is to be believed.
Even on the low end, that would mean The Lion King would have the biggest opening weekend for one of these Disney reimaginings to date.
Early box office tracking has the movie bringing in between $180 and $230 million on opening weekend.
