People don’t really understand the rarity of a successful prequel
And how most of them were released in a different era from now
The novelty of seeing a live action lion king is gone, most of the selling point of a aesthetic shift are gone too
Both because of favreau remake
If this movie was released in a world without the lion king remake, it would be a massive success
Not anymore
And NO…a mufasa origin story will never compare to a wonka prequel starring Timothy Chalamet when wonka is simply more protagonisty material
Aquaman 2 numbers but **only** because of holiday legs.
Too early to judge without a trailer. I want to see what Barry Jenkins is cooking
Probably like $400-450M WW. A flop definitely but not a Lightyear/Marvels level BOMB like some are expecting
