‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ Closing in on Becoming The 8th Highest-Grossing Film Of 2024

Mufasa: The Lion King

‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ continues to roar loudly at the box office and is now on pace to potentially become the 8th highest-grossing film of 2024, surpassing it’s recent competitor at the box office ‘Sonic the Hedgehod 3’, according to Koimoi.

The film, which hit box offices back on December 20th amid a hectic holiday season at theaters, is reportedly $6 million away from accomplishing the feat and is primed to overtake Kung Fu Panda 4 in the worldwide box office.

According to the report, ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ is closing in on the $650-$700 million global box office range, which could put it in the neighborhood of finishing  as the 7th or 6th highest grossing movie of 2024.

Per the official synopsis: “Exploring the unlikely rise of the beloved king of the Pride Lands, “Mufasa: The Lion King” enlists Rafiki to relay the legend of Mufasa to young lion cub Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala, with Timon and Pumbaa lending their signature schtick. Told in flashbacks, the story introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka—the heir to a royal bloodline. The chance meeting sets in motion an expansive journey of an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destiny—their bonds will be tested as they work together to evade a threatening and deadly foe. ”
