Mufasa: The Lion King' has launched in theaters, but when will it be streaming on Disney Plus? Here's what we know about the prequel.

If that's the case for Mufasa: The Lion King, it should be available to buy digitally from mid-to-late February 2025. You won't be able to rent it initially, but should be able to from the time it arrives on Disney+. While we wait for its streaming and digital release, Mufasa: The Lion King is only available to watch in cinemas.

The Lion King outperformed Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog 3 at the international box office, solidifying its global dominance. While both films competed strongly during the holiday season, Mufasa leveraged its international appeal to pull ahead of Sonic 3 in worldwide earnings.

Having staged something of a comeback during the Christmas week — a historically lucrative period at the box office — Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King passed a couple of important milestones both domestically and worldwide this weekend.

Mufasa: The Lion King should be a blueprint for the future of Disney remakes.

Mufasa: The Lion King has seen a surge in collection on New Years eve and New Years day consecutively in the Indian box office.

Mufasa: The Lion King features Aaron Pierre as the titular character. Now, the prequel movie has topped Nosferatu at the Christmas day box office.

But there's no denying that the 1994 movie The Lion King is one of the most iconic films, telling the story of lion cub Simba and his journey to becoming the leader of his lion pride in the Pride Lands.
