How much money does the new Aladdin have to generate?

Aladdin, Disney's next revival film, will open this Memorial Day weekend in the United States. He should be making a lot of money during his opening weekend. Early box office numbers suggest the film will bring in $ 80 million or more over the long weekend.

The estimates, which were obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, also indicate that the route between Aladdin and the United States and Canada could be closer to $ 100 million while Disney intensifies its marketing efforts.

In comparison, Disney's latest revival film, Dumbo, opened in March to a disappointing $ 45.9 million in the United States and Canada. Aladdin is of course a bigger and better known name than Dumbo, so we expect him to do better. The next Disney king, The Lion King, will open in July. This is undoubtedly the prospect of greater box office success.

Aladdin, who is based on the animated Disney classic in 1992, stars Mena Massoud in the role of Aladdin. He discovers a magic lamp that evokes a singing, dancing and overflowing genius (Will Smith). The genius granted him three wishes, with which he began to woo Princess Jasmine (Naomi Scott) and avoid the evil Jafar (Marwan Kenzari). Sherlock Holmes director Guy Ritchie heads the new Aladdin.

Aladdin opens in the United States on May 24. There is no fierce competition, but Brightburn also came out that day, the horror movie about superheroes produced by James Gunn.
