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.
