It's truly, and I mean truly incredible to see that a re-release of a 20 year old film got nearly 100m unadjusted. And it was #1 for the first two weekends. Only a few movies can do that nowadays. 3 Quote
cannastop Posted February 4, 2017 Author Posted February 4, 2017 There's something slightly sketchy were Disney removed this movie from theaters for two months, only to re-release it in the holidays. Can't do that in today's market. 1 Quote

I suspect you are right, the buzz around a 3D re-release had probably a 3/4 year's windows of 2009 to 2012. All the big re-release happened during that time: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/showdowns/chart/?id=3drereleases.htm Opening a re-release at 30 million, is pretty hard to imagine now, we will need a new very popular technology before we get something similar happening again. 2 Quote

Mango Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 I'll see Terminator 2 ten times in its re-release to help it get to $100M. 1 Quote
SteveJaros Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Between the nearly $1 Billion in movie box office, the 15 million Soundtrack copies sold, the nearly 60 million vhs/dvd/blurays sold (an untouchable record), and the $3 Billion in licensed merchandise sold over the years, the Lion King is arguably the single most profitable movie of all time. Oh, and the play it spawned has done $6 Billion in business, the #1 play of all time. Sheesh! Edited February 15, 2017 by SteveJaros 7 Quote

franfar Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 Adjusted for inflation, this movie would cost ~$154,375,452 in 2016 dollars. Quote
cannastop Posted November 10, 2017 Author Posted November 10, 2017 The 2019 remake is really going to put the legacy of The Lion King into perspective. Quote
La Binoche Posted November 11, 2017 Posted November 11, 2017 Its November 1994 re-release is so odd and interesting. The way they pulled it from theaters after Summer and then re-released it to strong grosses in the Winter... 1 Quote
