The Lion King (live-action) over 750m domestic club
This seems like a lock to me.
- Jon Favreau directing, coming off the huge success of The Jungle Book - The Lion King is still a massive property for Disney. Much larger than The Jungle Book. Multiple successful re-releases. The Broadway show has been playing for two decades. The preschool set currently enjoys a successful Disney Jr. television series and toy line. - The original adjusts to 772m now - You know they're going to get that Hamilton guy to write some new songs

Out. The original is too loved. I think it will flop. $80m.

All right, screw it. You're right, I'm being too conservative.

No way. Even $500m is optimistic. Out.

This will be massive, but that's a bit of a high bar to clear.

Re: The Lion King (live-action) over 750m domestic club
It can do a bit better than Beauty, whatever that does. But I don't think anyone really wants The Lion King to be remade. Since there are no human characters, it will really just be animation anyway.

Seriously, though, will this be considered a CG animated film?

Yeah, what's going to be live-action about this? Grass and a couple of trees?

Wouldn't it have made more sense to re-adapt Aladdin first?

Re: The Lion King (live-action) over 750m domestic club
As much as I hate the idea of this it's going to be HUGE. Jungle Book already proved their is demand and an audience for these live action remakes and BATB looks to also follow suit. I'm not in just yet, but a trailer could easily change my mind. I'd say $300M is the floor though unless it completely sucks.

Re: The Lion King (live-action) over 750m domestic club
The animated The Lion King is still very much in popular culture. The Jungle Book isn't/wasn't.
This live-action remake will have this to overcome. I would expect a finish between $80m and $150m.
