While it looked like 'One of Them Days' would prevail at the holiday weekend box office, Disney's 'Mufasa: The Lion King' ended up reigning over the competition.

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.

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.

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.

Mufasa: The Lion King explains several key The Lion King locations, but it completely omits one of the franchise's most mysterious ones.

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.

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,

The U.K. and Ireland box office saw Disney’s “ Mufasa: The Lion King ” stay at the top in its fourth week, roaring to £2.2 million ($2.6 million) over the weekend and bringing its cumulative total to £24 million ($29.2 million), according to numbers from Comscore.

The bad news overall: it looks to be one of the slowest MLK weekends in years as Hollywood and theaters prepare for another slowdown in product in the first quarter of 2025. Speaker Mike Johnson Suggests "Conditions" Needed on Federal Aid for L.
