Get back to me when it makes this much in 2,500 theaters in 1994 instead of 4,725 theaters in 2019.

That $312 million in the original domestic run would be more like $537 million in 2019 dollars, and it doesn't account for the rising number of theaters and moviegoers in general.

Have you noticed how the new benchmark for a mega-hit is a billion dollars? It used to be a lot less. Inflation and industry expectations are a bitch.

It is surprising how much it's making considering it's RT score... most people say it looks nice, but it's soulless

Is it?

I think some movies are review proof. Especially kids movies and stuff people are familiar and invested in. I always thought Lion King was gonna be one of the biggest movies of the year.

The movie wasn't bad but some scenes looked really awkward with the cgi animals like the mufasa death scene

It's sad how much personality is just lost in general. Even comparing the opening scene with Scar there's a huge gulf between them.

Technically it's very impressive. But it's so soulless as a result.

More animal variety and a human protagonist.

Even Jungle Book had some warning signs like I Wanna Be Like You being a big step down.
