The Lion King Box Office Collection Day 6: Disney's Live Action Remake Is Racing Towards Rs 100 Crore Club in India, Rakes in Rs 75.92 Crore
The Lion King is not only going steady at the box office but its also trending better than Hrithik Roshan starrer biographical drama Super 30. The Hollywood biggie will continue to perform well and is expected to do brilliant business over the second weekend despite new releases.
Not just for Hindi films but this year has turned out to be very successful for Hollywood films too especially in India. While Avengers: Endgame stormed the box office across the globe, films like Captain Marvel, Spider-Man Far From Home, and Aladdin also got cash registers ringing at the ticket windows. And now its Jon Favreau's latest directorial venture The Lion King which is currently having a dream run at the Indian box office. The live-action remake of Disney's classic tale released in India last week and since then has been minting big money at the domestic BO without any trouble whatsoever.
