A few months ago a new movie came out called Mufasa. However, despite coming from the successful Disney studios, the movie proved to be a flop. This movie is a prequel to the live-action Lion King movie.

Rotten Tomatoes is one of the largest and most successful movie reviewing companies in the world. They happened to review Mufasa. The Rotten Tomatoes scale reviews movies with percentage. Zero percent is the lowest score given, which deems a movie a “rotten tomato”, and one hundred is the maximum score and means the movie is excellent. Out of 100 percent, Mufasa only got 58 percent. On the movie reviewing scale, this is not a high mark.

On the Rotten Tomatoes website, Christy Lemire said, “It swings back and forth tonally very awkwardly, but there are some thrilling moments and it is Barry Jenkins’ usual cinematographer, James Laxton, so it’s quite lovely at times. But I wish Jenkins would take his artistry where it is his.” According to many other reviews on the site, these tonal shifts impact the enjoyability of the film greatly.

Mufasa was rated PG, meaning parental guidance suggested for young viewers. This means that the movie can’t have more than two warnings to share with the audience. Warnings are required for acts of violence, foul language, and more. The movie’s target audience is all ages, including little kids who may need parents present for the more difficult moments.

According to Box Office Mojo, Mufasa made over 721 million dollars worldwide. Compared to some other movies, this is not a bad amount. For this movie, it cost a little over 200 million dollars to make. Box office money is the money that a movie makes at theatres in a certain amount of time. 254.56 million dollars was made in the United States of America alone from this movie. This makes up for more than a fourth of the earnings worldwide.

In conclusion, this movie was an okay movie according to the public, and it made a sufficient amount of money. In fact this movie made more money than what it cost to make.
