Disney’s 3D version of the classic animated movie “The Lion King” was slated to appear in theaters for just two weeks, however it just might stay for longer if it keeps bringing in the numbers it received at the box office over opening weekend! So far the movie has earned $29.3 million, which is amazing for a movie that came out in 1994. Not only did the movie bring in that much money, but it also beat out all of its competition in theaters!
Here’s what Dave Hollis, Disney’s EVP of Theatrical Distribution, told The Hollywood Reporter:
Definitely our expectations were exceeded. You have to go back to the circle of life idea. Teenagers who saw it two decades ago are now parents and brought their children. Parents who saw it when it first came out are now grandparents and brought their grandchildren. It was an opportunity to see the movie in a way they hadn’t seen it before. And it’s a little bit of the perfect storm.
Have you seen “The Lion King 3D” in theaters yet?
