"The Lion King" Disney’s Remake Version Hits $1 Billion Worldwide After 19 Days!

Disney has been dominating the box office despite the down year for cinema in 2019. And so just after 19 days since its release, The Lion King directed by Jon Favreau has officially joined the Disney’s 1-billion-dollar club, along with Avengers: Endgame, Captain Marvel and Disney's live-action remake of Aladdin.

Still, it’s likely not the last as other upcoming projects of Disney are strongly expected by the audience from all over the world, predicting a potential future of ratings.

Speaking of, the film has earned $361 million at the domestic box office, outperformed the domestic totals of Alice in Wonderland 2010, Aladdin 2019, and The Jungle Book 2016.

Beauty and the Beast 2017, which is quite easy to understand with no other family movies releasing schedule till September. Worldwide, it has earned more than $638 million and still increasing.

The Lion King has stunning visuals, very realistic animated animal technique, and the same emotional story we love. And beyond, we have assembled an all-star voice cast for The Lion King.

We have Donald Glover's take on the lead role of adult Simba, Beyoncé voices adult Nala, Chiwetel Ejiofor voices Scar and he role of young Simba went to JD McCrary and so on.

One of the interesting things about the Lion King cast is that the majority of the voice actors and actresses have African origins.

Reportedly, the movie is the second highest release of 2019 in EMEA and is the highest-grossing release from Disney Live-Action in Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Central America, Trinidad, Uruguay, and Paraguay.

Hong Kong, Italy, and Japan have yet to release The Lion King. Through Monday, the Top 5 markets are China ($115.8M), UK ($48M), Brazil ($44.2M), France ($42.2M) and Mexico ($38.4M).

So yes, Disney is in charge, and the live-action movies in Disney plans have yet to come to an end.
