beat sheet
- The photorealistic 'Mufasa' prequel scored $87.2M overseas and $122M worldwide, not quite matching the rapturous reception of the 2019 'Lion King' remake
- Despite the nostalgia factor, 'Mufasa' lacked the bite of Disney's previous live-action adaptations, signaling audiences may be growing weary of the studio's endless remakes
