The lion king is a phenomenon tbh. Too bad it wasn't a better remake because they potentially could've reached like 2bTechnically it could reach $2b if audiences really love it. A meh performance in China has certainly badly hurt its chances though. I'd put it at ~5% chance right now. Still thinking my $1.6-1.7b estimate is on track. $1.671b+ beating Jurassic World for 6th place would be a fantastic result and about as good as anyone could expect, $2b is still an extraordinary feat and takes something truly special with everything falling in place to reach.
Some industry sources are saying ~$80m dom friday, while BOT insider still sticking with $93m. That's a huge difference, like if it is 93 instead of 80 that's worth 50mil+ for the total run.
