Walt Disney & # 39; 39; s The Lion King begins The global box office reigns in China this weekend, while the animated remake of the 1994 feature film of $ 54.7 million during its three first days, which is in the middle of tracking the guestimates that were between 50 and 60 million dollars.As China was not a distant territory for the musical Jon Favreau, this is a solid result.In addition, it exceeded the revenue Aladdin The sum of 53 million dollars in just the first three days.
The lion king marks a weekend of 39 opening larger in China than the The Jungle Book which opens with a weekend of 48 million dollars in 2016. to 148 million dol lars, which is significantly higher than the launch of by The Beauty and the Beast by $ 44 million. who reported "only" 84 million dollars in 2017. This film has reported $ 1.263 billion worldwide, including 504 million in North America. It would not be a tragedy if the lion king looked more like Belle and less like Mowgli. If the Lion King plays around the world next week as planned, then China will be, at worst, a minor point.
If I am optimistic, I must note that there are three things in his favor, especially in China. First, word of mouth is damn loud, so people seem to enjoy it. Secondly, the general themes (family and inheritance) are not so far removed from what drove the $ 235 million Coco there. Thirdly, and this also looks like Coco the film is indeed quite "alien" (an animated remake on African cats with a vocal cast consisting mostly of black actors) for that it stands out alongside China biggies.
Now that China has its own local blockbusters, baduming that they will not all be censored by the state of the broadcast schedule to the next minute, the Ready Player One shows that Chinese moviegoers do not need big Hollywood blockbusters that are conventionally pleasing in China. I would say that something like The Lion King has a minor advantage in China because it is specifically "foreign" while offering universal themes. Even Americans like Zootopia Ready Player One and Captain America: Civil War have all exceeded 190 million dollars in China in recent years.
That being said, I would say that China is as busy with superhero fever as it is today, which is why detective detective Pikachu ($ 93 million) ), Godzilla: the king of Monsters ($ 133 million) and Alita: Battle Angel ($ 133 million) could not match even the type Kong: Skull Island ($ 168 million) and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Do not Tell No Story ($ 171 million). If The Lion King may be Hollywood's rare Hollywood export exceeding $ 150 million in China, the difference is that Disney did not expect a revival of activity there.
In China, all the better. If no, well. I do not know if the mixed reviews (currently 60% fresh and 6.47 / 10 on rotten tomatoes ) will have a major impact on the global launch of the film next weekend. I would say that the nature of the reviews ("the old movie you own at home is better in almost every respect") will not help the defenders. I may be digging in this direction at the beginning of next week, but I imagine that the fundamental tone ( The Lion King but "a real photo" starring Donald Glover and Beyoncé) will be enough to overcome the negative opinions.
