Disney’s live-action remakes have been relatively successful, but the ones that have met with lukewarm critical response have done less than stellar business at the box office. The Lion King, in spite of its massive marketing push and July berth, has received relatively minor support from critics, with most reviews on the negative side. The film will still open incredibly well; however, I doubt it will be a record-shattering weekend and it certain won’t result in a result as potent as the original film’s 1996 take, at least when adjusted for inflation ($312.8 million original and $672.4 adjusted for inflation).

Wesley Lovell (WL): To date, I’ve managed to see one of the live-action adaptations of Disney’s live-action catalogue. As much as I would love to re-experience the Circle of Life scene, the early reviews aren’t good. |
