The three-day gross box-office collection for the Disney film stands at Rs 65.19 crore.

While, the film’s opening day gross was Rs 13.17 crore, nett figures for day one stood at Rs 11.06 crore. The second day gross collection figure was Rs 22.8 crore.

With the upswing in numbers, ‘The Lion King’ has scaled the third all-time opening record in India, after ‘Avengers: Endgame’ and ‘Avengers: Infinity War’.
