Disney Hopeful Mufasa Can Rebound After Disastrous Box Office Opening
The movie “Mufasa: The Lion King” had a somewhat disappointing start at the box office during its opening weekend, but Disney remains optimistic that it will pick up steam later on. The photorealistic “live-action” prequel to “Lion King” is said to have earned approximately $35 million domestically, which falls short of initial projections and trails behind “Sonic the Hedgehog 3.” However, insiders at Disney predict a surge in ticket sales once the holiday rush subsides.
