‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ Takes Pride As No. 9 Most Valuable Blockbuster Of 2024

"Few movies have pulled off a sequel as successfully as *Mufasa: The Lion King*. Despite flopping at the box office due to low domestic ticket sales and a lackluster Rotten Tomatoes score, the prequel became Disney's top performer of the year with $175M in global TV and streaming revenues. Its success was fueled by an extended theatrical window of 60 days, allowing Disney to maximize profits through premium large-screen screenings, while also delivering strong international box office performance. The movie ended up making a net profit of $175M, solidifying its place as a financial and creative triumph."
