TJE LION KING was excellent in week two as it collected 44 crore nett and took its two week total to 125 crore nett. The drop in the second week was just 45%. The film will cross the numbers of SUPER 30 this weekend probably and that film was released a week earlier.

The film is the fourth blockbuster of the year after AVENGERS: ENDGAME, KABIR SINGH and URI if we count the Hindi and English films and the fourth highest Hollywood grosser ever in India. The film is also among the top ten biggest ever blockbusters from Hollywood in India.

The film should cross the 150 crore nett mark but to go higher than that will be tough as the big releases on Independence day will bring its collections down.

SUPER 30 is steady with a minimal drop from Monday. The film is looking at a third week total of 17.50 crore nett plus and should comfortably cross the 130 crore nett mark at the end of the week. If the film can trend as the third week in the fourth week then it can surpass the numbers of BANG BANG to become the second highest Hrithik Roshan NETT grosser.

THE LION KING is super strong as it dropped just 35% on its second Monday from the second Friday. The film is looking at a second week figure of around 44 crore nett which would mean a drop of under 50% for week two. The film will comfortably cross the 150 crore nett mark and maybe end around 160 crore nett though it remains to be seen how it performs over the next two weeks.

SUPER 30 grossed 1.50 crore net on its third Monday and is looking at a third week of 17.50-18 crore nett. These would be the third best numbers of 2019 after URI and KABIR SINGH beating the figures of films like TOTAL DHAMAAL, KESARI and DE DE PYAAR DE.

The targets for the film are to beat GULLY BOY at 134.75 crore nett and then to beat BANG BANG to become the second highest Hrithik Roshan nett grosser. The former will happen though the latter could be tough.

THE LION KING is a solid BLOCKBUSTER as it had the second highest second weekend of all time after AVENGERS: ENDGAME for Hollywood. The film collected a huge 32.25 crore nett which is only the third time that a Hollywood film has crossed 30 crore nett in the second weekend. AVENGERS: ENDGAME is the only Hollywood film to top 50 crore nett in the second weekend.

The top second weekends are as follows and these four are the biggest blockbusters from Hollywood also in the last five years.
Avengers: Endgame - 50,92,00,000
The Lion King - 32,25,00,000 apprx
Avengers: Infinity War - 30,77,00,000
The Jungle Book - 27,65,00,000

The film has now collected 113 crore nett in ten days and looks to be cruising to the 150 crore nett plus mark. The film is already the fourth highest grosser from Hollywood in NETT and GROSS terms though may not go to a higher position as the third highest, THE JUNGLE BOOK, is at 188 crore nett.

The collections of THE LION KING till date are as follows.
Week One - 80,94,00,000 
Friday - 5,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 12,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 15,00,00,000 apprx
Second Weekend - 32,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,13,19,00,000 aprrx

THE LION KING showed phenomenal growth on its second Saturday as collections rose around 120% from Friday. The film could get a second week in the 30 crore nett range which is excellent. The nine day business of the film is almost 98 crore nett.

The collections of THE LION KING till date are as follows.
Week One - 80,94,00,000 
Friday - 5,25,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 97,69,00,000 aprrx

SUPER 30 also showed huge growth on its third Saturday as collections doubled up from Friday to collect 4.50 crore nett. The film is holding strongly and has done business of 120 crore nett so far in sixteen days.

The collections of SUPER 30 till date are as follows.
Week One - 75,36,00,000 
Week Two - 37,87,00,000 
Friday - 2,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 4,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,19,98,00,000 apprx

THE LION KING was excellent in week one with 81 crore nett. The seven day numbers of this film are the seventh best of the year if we count Hindi and English films after AVENGERS: ENDGAME, BHARAT, KABIR SINGH, GULLY BOY and TOTAL DHAMAAL. A few of these films got a boost from the holidays.

THE LION KING collections are also almost 6 crore nett better than last weeks Super 30 even though day one was around 60 lakhs less. A good hold on Friday is the test for the film because the Friday can hold strongly it has a chance of going to that 150 crore nett mark as Saturday and Sunday will jump.

A jump from a higher mark on the second Friday would make a huge difference. If the film was to go down 30-40% then the 150 crore nett mark may be difficult to achieve. The film has done fantastic business in South with Nizam/Andhra, Mysore/Karnataka, Tamil Nadu/Kerala contributing around 30 crore of the 81 crore.

The first week collections of THE LION KING are as follows
Friday - 11,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 18,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 24,00,00,000 apprx
Monday - 7,75,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 7,00,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 6,50,00,000 apprx
Thursday - 5,75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 81,00,00,000 apprx
-------------------------------
THE LION KING is a BLOCKBUSTER film as it collected 5-5.25 crore nett apprx on its second Friday. The film has hardly seen a drop in the second week. The main drop is in the South which had a very strong first week anyway. Some centers in the Hindi markets have seen gains from Thursday. The drop from the first day is just a little over 50%. The eight day collections are 86 crore nett apprx

The film will show huge gains on the weekend again like the first week and could cross the business of all Hindi releases this year except KABIR SINGH, URI and BHARAT. The film has chances to cross the 150 crore nett mark.

If we look at all the Hindi and English releases this year then THE LION KING is the fourth biggest Hit of the year after AVENGERS: ENDGAME, KABIR SINGH and URI.
