The Lion King breaks its own record with a whopping $4.3 million gross over nine days, setting a new record for the highest weekly gross in Broadway history.
Reaching greater heights than ever before, The Lion King surpasses its records and makes its mark with a whopping $4.3 million over nine performances at the Minskoff in December. This is the first show to breach the $4 million mark since the pandemic-induced shutdown and the highest weekly gross in Broadway history. It is also the show’s highest-grossing run in 25 years.
The Lion King is no stranger to box office records. Whether it be the stage musical version or a live-action remake, the franchise continues to find new ways to retell its Shakespearean tale. The 2019 film, a reimagining of the 1994 animated film, had the biggest domestic opening of all time for a Disney remake.
The musical, having staged over 8,500 performances, continues to break records, seemingly finding competition not in other productions, but with itself. It stands now as the third-longest-running show on Broadway and the highest-grossing Broadway production of all time, grossing nearly $2 billion on Broadway alone.
