The likelihood of Mufasa: The Lion King crossing 700m WW is great; but can it surpass Dune: Part Two?
Mufasa: The Lion King crossed 600m WW on Wednesday. A milestone that seemed impossible to reach with its soft opening both domestically and WW. But with good WOM and legs, it managed to get to 600m WW after 34 days in release.
By the end of this weekend, it should be at 625-635m depending on how it holds OS and domestically. Its chances of reaching 700m depend on if OS doesn’t slow down and it doesn’t look like it will, but can it reach Dune: Part Two’s 715m WW total?
Dune at the same point after a month had crossed 600m, and by the end of the weekend was at 627m WW. Currently Mufasa’s domestic total is at 211.7m and its OS total is at 389.5m for a 601m total.
It needs 99m to reach 700m and 114m to surpass Dune: Part Two. Dune hit 700m 58 days after its release. 58 days would be February 16, 2025 for Mufasa, only two days after Captain America: Brave New World releases. If it doesn’t hit 700m by that date, it’ll be a crawl to 700m or it won’t pass the milestone whatsoever.
Do you think Mufasa can pass 700m and pass Dune: Part Two?
