Didn’t it bomb?

it made 1.7 billion

 

[Tical]

We’re going to miss out on a 3rd season of The Knick because Barry wants to direct a Mufasa origin story

 

[NOSaintsFan02]

it made 1.7 billion

Yup. It was a quiet 1.7 billion but that movie made bank so this isn't a surprise lol

 

[FlyRy]

Weird choice for Barry. Shame

 

[Bob Loblaw]

it made 1.7 billion

Oh so it just sucked my fault

Breh put Barry Jenkins name in the title . Thats the major news outta this.

Salute to Barry on securing the bag. He can whatever he wants after this.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

I would assume that the sequel will be its own original story since the first one got criticism for being essentially following the animated film to a T with few minor changes.

Its a shame is what it is. QT the last one left not sucked into the franchise machine

 

[BlackMajik]

THIS is how Lion King should of looked



Lion King looked so bad smh

 

[MartyMcFly]

If I liked the first one at all I'd be interested in this on the strength of Barry. but as long as they're using that photorealistic tech, I don't see how this movie goes beyond "pretty but soulless" regardless of who is directing.

Will they include the song from Lion King 2?
