“The Lion King” pulled in an estimated $78.5 million on Friday, the film is on its way to a three-day performance of around $190 million. This is not even counting the $23 million from Thursday night previews. When all is said and done, Jon Favreau’s live-action adaptation of the 1994 animated classic may cross the billion dollar mark worldwide.
Criterion's December lineup has some great additions to the library, but the title that jumped out at me is Werner Herzog's "Grizzly Man," which officially joins the Collection on December 8.
