Wait...people liked The Lion King (2019)?! 🤦♂️
36It seems they liked it enough for it to make $1.6 billion.
And apparently it has an 88% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes.
14It was a Lion King movie. Of course people paid to go see it. Box office profits (tickets sold) do not equate to an enjoyable film.
I've never heard of anyone IRL or online claim that film was worthy of their time.
We all got catfished on that one but I'm not surprised. You cannot remake a classic. It will work only 1 time out of 50. The odds are never good.
Jungle Book was an exception, imo.

Wasn't that the first of the modern "live action" remakes? Nobody knew how terrible they'd all be yet so it probably sold well.

My therapist recommended that I check this out. I'm looking forward to it hitting torrent sites.
11It's already there
11No idea where they pull their data but they put Inside Out 2 at the top of this list too:

I thought the first movie was better. Inside Out 2 was fine and enjoyed it but it felt a bit more painful comedy wise than the first one and the story was less compelling.
10I’m a bit torn. While I think the overall first movie is better, as an adult… I very much connected to the inside story of the second one much more, as did most people I know that watched it.

I feel like the sequel to Inside Out should have been called Outside In
6I love that Deadpool + Wolverine is chasing it at 1.22 billion.
6It might be tough to overtake. Inside Out 2 did better with international audiences. D&W may beat it domestically though... it'll be close for that.

I had a hard time watching some of the Inside Out sequel, but now that I know how it ends I will feel a lot less stressed/anxious during a rewatch. Kind of like rewatching The Sixth Sense.
I feel that I likely will rewatch the first movie more as it's easier on my brain.
3Okay this is crazy, Alexa play Inside Out by clipping.
3I thought the 2019 Lion King was live action?
2It was certainly marketed as live action. Believe it or not, the opening sunrise shot is the only piece of live-action footage in the entire movie. The rest of the movie is photorealistic CGI animation.
