Stop being anti Disney. 

Disney is a multi-billion dollar corporation, they don't need you defending them all the time on an internet board. Nor do they care.

I'm only pro-Avatar because it's Disney

Disney is the most oppressed thing on earth.

This is a pretty good new date for Mufasa. I think it was going to tank (Alice 2 style) in its previous release date next to Despicable Me 4. Now during Christmas and without any other huge movie opening next to it I could see this finishing with a decent DOM and WW number. 

 

I know Sonic 3 is opening next to it but I see that doing max $250m DOM which leaves a lot of room for another movie.

I'm glad they're acknowledging The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride as canon

Does this movie have songs? Because my interest in this goes from low to zero without music.

Wikipedia says it's a musical but if it is whoever is writing the songs is unknown.

I feel the hate growing in me just by looking at this movies title.

It kinda sounds like they’re attempting to LA remake The Lion King 1 and 1/2 in a sense, help us all

The Lion King: Hamlet

Simba's Pride: Romeo & Juliet

Mufasa: ?? Richard III with Mufasa in the Henry VII role?

I thought The Hollywood Handle was an unreliable source?

They aren't the origin of this report

"Because which of them is really destined to rule as the Lion King - and at what price?"

 

Gee I dunno who could it be

Scar and Mufasa not being brothers by blood makes their dynamic a lot less interesting.

This is going to be another Disney underperformer isn’t it?

The holidays saved Aquaman 2 from being as much of an embarrassment as it appeared as if it was going to be in the weeks before release so at the very least this should similarly avoid the humiliation of reaching Alice Through the Looking Glass/The Marvels levels on the "how the mighty have fallen" scale.

I get that vibe from this too. The plot snippets reek of something that would have been a direct-to-VHS release 30 years ago.

 

Apologies for quoting a month-old comment. I didn't check the date.
