MimiC1019 It didn’t make over $100 million? It’s a horrible failure. He should just let marvel make his movies

Congrats to original theatrical cinema!

Movie was terrible!

Still waiting for Middle East release of this film .

And that shitty Lion King remake made 180+ million opening!! I'm sad for the future of movies.

Pretty low really, considering it's stars.

Was never going to do so but TheLionKing joins the $100m losers club and dropping almost 60% is more than previous reimaginations despite no competition will definitely loose its throne next week against HobbsAndShaw

I doubt it ... but wouldn’t that be cool ? Hope people wise up and don’t watch that unnecessary remake this weekend 😆

If people know what good it will. I’ll take this film over The Lion King any day.

Doubt it.
