The video comes after the live-action remake of The Lion King recently made headlines on the box office circuit.

Since its release on 19 July, Disney announced that Jon Favreau‘s remake will cross the $1 billion mark (about R 14 462 500 000,00) at the worldwide box office, achieving the milestone in just 19 days of release. Overseas, The Lion King also earned the biggest domestic launch ever for a PG-rated film and the highest July opening of all time.

In South Africa alone, the film went on to rack up over R6.4 million on the first day of release, becoming the biggest opening day the month of July has ever seen in South Africa.

Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War is still the top-grossing opening weekend films in South Africa to date.
