YOUR WEEKEND
BOX OFFICE
Disney's new Lion King movie just earned the biggest July opening of all time, breaking the record held by 2011's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 ($169.1m) with approximately $185m.
According to BoxOfficeMojo, the debut serves as the second-largest opening of the year so far, the seventh-largest ever and the #1 largest opening opening for a PG film.
That said, although it earned an A CinemaScore, it also ended up with a lackluster 54% at Rotten Tomatoes, thanks to a largely tepid response from critics.
1. The Lion King (Buena Vista) $185.0m 4,725/$39,153 avg. (debut)
2. Spider-Man: Far From Home (Sony) $21.0m 4,415/$4,757 avg. (week 3)
3. Toy Story 4 (Buena Vista) $14.6m 3,750/$3,893 avg. (week 5)
4. Crawl (Paramount) $6.0m 3,170/$1,893 avg. (week 2)
5. Yesterday (Universal) $5.1m 2,662/$1,916 avg. (week 4)
