Mufasa: The Lion King might have lost its crown at the box office chart in North America to Den of Thieves 2, but it has crossed a major milestone worldwide. The film might not be as successful as its predecessor, the 2019 movie The Lion King, but it is also a box office success. Scroll below for the deets.

The movie had a slow start at the box office and lost to Sonic the Hedgehog 3. However, it picked up pace after Christmas and has been consistently earning decent numbers at the box office both domestically and globally. For the unversed, the Disney feature was made on an estimated budget of $200 million, and it has raked in over 2.5 times the price tag.

According to Luiz Fernando’s report, Mufasa: The Lion King has crossed the $500 million mark worldwide. It collected a solid $13.2 million on the fourth three-day weekend, just a 43.6% drop from the last boosted weekend despite losing 305 theatres on Friday. The animated feature has hit a $188.8 million cume in the United States. It is expected to collect a $230 million to $260 million run in North America.
