The Disney feature was made on a production budget of $200 million and has collected more than 3.5 times the price tag. It was directed by Barry Jenkins and based on a screenplay by Jeff Nathanson. Beyonce’s daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, made her feature film debut with Mufasa.
According to Luiz Fernando’s report, Mufasa: The Lion King is set to cross the $250 million milestone in the United States.

Mufasa will hit a significant milestone today and is eyeing a $1.5 million to $2 million on its 11th three-day weekend in the United States. Mufasa: The Lion King has collected $458.88 million overseas, and with that, the Disney movie has hit a $708.04 million cume worldwide. It is the seventh highest-grossing film of 2024. The movie requires around $6 million to beat the worldwide haul of Dune: Part Two.
Dune: Part Two is the sixth highest-grossing film of last year, with a $714.64 million global haul. Mufasa will climb up one spot on the highest-grosser list if it surpasses the Timothee Chalamet starrer sci-fi movie.
