The Lion King is performing well at the international box office, and India is contributing to it. While Sonic The Hedgehog 3 rides high on popularity in North America, Mufasa too does quite well – with lifetime box office collections crossing ₹125 crores from India.
The Lion King prequel would end by making ₹63 crores in its opening week. In its second weekend, it added ₹28.5 crores to its collection. Day 11 was the second Monday, and the film added almost ₹5.25 crores, which would take the total collection in India to around ₹92.75 crores. Experts say it is likely that on the 13th day, which happens to be the New Year’s Day, the film would cross the 100-crore mark. Hence will help a lot in cashing the box office.

This was quite moody with the voice performances: Shah Rukh Khan in the Hindi version loved it, and for the South, Mahesh Babu did it. Overall, it has worked very well in the Indian market.

Breakdowns of collections: Day 1 – ₹7 crore; Day 2 – ₹11 crore; Day 3 – ₹14.5 crore; Day 4 – ₹5.5 crore; Day 5 – ₹7.5 crore; Day 6 – ₹11 crore; Day 7 – ₹6.5 crore; Day 8 – ₹6 crore; Day 9 – ₹9.5 crore; Day 10 – ₹9 crore; and Day 11 – ₹5.25 crore.
This is definitely going to cross the ₹100 crores mark in India. And this one will do really well from New Year holidays too.
