THE LION KING showed extraordinary growth as it collected 19 crore nett on day two. The collections are up over 70% on Saturday and this has never happened before that a film has grown 70% on Saturday which collected over 10 crore nett on the first day. It has happened for films under 10 crore nett but the lower you are then, there is more chance of higher growth.

The highest growth before THE LION KING was actually last week with SUPER 30 which made gains of around 55% and then there was TOILET - EK PREM KATHA which went up 52%. This is for films collecting more than 10 crore nett on day one.

The two day collections of THE LION KING are 30 crore nett and there should be further growth on Sunday with Monday telling how big this film can be. The plus for the film was that it showed huge growth in Mysore/Karnataka and Tamil Nadu which meant South had big gains. Nizam/Andhra and Kerala showed less growth. Mumbai made gains of almost 90% while Delhi/UP was up 80%.

The first two day collections of THE LION KING are as follows
Friday - 11,00,00,000
Saturday - 19,00,00,000
TOTAL - 30,00,00,000 apprx

A 50 crore nett weekend should be there for the film as Sunday should go up from Saturday but the huge Saturday growth could curtail Sunday growth a little.
