It’s good times at the box office as ‘Super 30’, ‘The Lion King’ and ‘Kabir Singh’ continued their fine run. While the Hrithik Roshan-starrer entered the Rs 100-crore club, the international live-action venture too hit the Rs 50-crore milestone over the weekend. Even after a month of its release, ‘Kabir Singh’ is still earning over Rs 1 crore during the weekend.

Starting from the latest, ‘The Lion King’, became only the second Hollywood film after ‘Avengers: Endgame’ to earn Rs 50 crore over the weekend this year, as per trade analyst Taran Adarsh. Even, overall, it is third on the list of highest opening weekends for Hollywood, behind ‘Avengers: Endgame’ and ‘Avengers: Infinity War.’
