The way they pulled it from theaters after Summer and then re-released it to strong grosses in the Winter... Up until the late 90s, it was not uncommon for films to go to second-run theaters several months after they were released (kind of what discount/dollar theaters are today, but more widespread). I remember as a kid, this would happen quite a lot for popular films, including all of the Disney Renaissance. I'm guessing that's what the November 1994 numbers are from.

No, they actually pulled The Lion King from theaters and re-issued it in the same year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way they pulled it from theaters after Summer and then re-released it to strong grosses in the Winter... I was a big fan of the Lion King movie that year, and followed stories about it in the papers at the time. My recollection was that the reason they gave for pulling it and then re-releasing around Thanksgiving was they were timing it to (a) kids going back to school at the end of summer, and then (b) kids being out of school for the holidays. So they pulled it because they anticipated box office dropping off significantly as kids went back to school, and felt that they could squeeze more end-run box office out of it by putting it back out there during the holiday breaks. Also, I saw LK during both its original summer run and then again during the holiday run. The holiday run featured a big promo for "Pocahontas", kind of like what they are doing now with the Frozen short that runs before CoCo. IIRC, the promo wasn't that long, but it was longer than your typical two-minute trailer. So they were using the LK re-release to promote Pocahontas as well. Anyway, that's all just from memory but I think it's accurate. Edited November 30, 2017 by SteveJaros 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmac Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Adjusted $818mil I can see the remake getting to 75% ($613m). The Lion King's run was amazing and was one of the first boxoffice runs I started tracking. I think a huge factor in its success was that soundtrack (I Can't Wait to be King, Be Prepared, Circle of Life, Can You Feel the Love and Hakuna Matata). The Disney renaissance at its apex. I remember sitting in theaters, older than its core audience, yet enraptured. As were many people in theaters during that summer. The fact that it did so well alongside another four-quadrant monster hit (Forrest Gump - $721m adj) should not be overlooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroceryGuru Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I remember a lot of people went to see Three Musketeers and Sister Act 2 Just for the preview for the lion king. It surprised me that things like this could actually happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royce Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 This was also #2 of all time WW, behind Jurassic Park I wasn't alive yet when this was released but seeing the "Circle of Life" trailer alone must have been astonishing at the time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFanaticGuy34 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 The only goal it has left....(if it ever happens in the future)...is yet another theatrical re-release for the $1B WW-trophy. Jurassic Park got to over $1B WW with a re-release. So i bet Disney could do something to give this the extra cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and the play it spawned has done $6 Billion in business, the #1 play of all time. Sheesh! BTW, since i posted this over two years ago, the Lion King musical's gross revenue has risen to $8.2 Billion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
