A Big Drop on Tuesday
The mid-week slump hit hard on Day 19, as Mufasa: The Lion King earned only ₹1.07 crore, marking a significant 73% drop compared to ₹4.04 crore on the previous day. The film saw a decline in both Hindi and English markets, with earnings falling below the ₹1 crore mark.
However, the film’s total earnings after 19 days stand at ₹128.26 crore, which is still impressive. Here’s a breakdown of the earnings so far:
- Week 1: ₹66.15 crore
- Week 2: ₹45.90 crore
- Weekend 3: ₹11.10 crore
- Day 18: ₹4.04 crore
- Day 19: ₹1.07 crore
Return on Investment (ROI)
Disney spent ₹50 crore on the release of Mufasa in India, and the film has already earned ₹78.26 crore in profits. Here’s how we calculate the ROI:
- Collections – Budget = ROI
- ROI ÷ Budget × 100 = ROI%
Mufasa: The Lion King has earned an impressive 156% return on investment in just 19 days, making it a super-hit at the Indian box office.
Competition with Deadpool & Wolverine
Deadpool & Wolverine is currently the highest-grossing Hollywood film of 2024 in India, with ₹135.25 crore in lifetime earnings. Mufasa: The Lion King was expected to surpass this, but with the recent dip, it remains to be seen whether it can catch up in the coming days.
The film has benefited from the strong association with Shah Rukh Khan, Aryan Khan, AbRam, and Mahesh Babu, which has certainly helped it attract a wider audience. With a strong weekend ahead, Mufasa: The Lion King could still surpass Deadpool & Wolverine before it completes its theatrical run.
