As a seasoned cinephile with decades of movie-watching under my belt, I must say that this week’s U.K.-Ireland box office lineup is a veritable feast for film enthusiasts like myself! From the roaring debut of Disney’s “Mufasa: The Lion King” to the enchanting continuation of Universal’s “Wicked,” there’s something for everyone in this diverse and exciting array of releases.
In its first weekend in the U.K.-Ireland cinemas, Disney’s “Mufasa: The Lion King” racked up an impressive opening of approximately £4.4 million (around $5.5 million) as per data from Comscore through December 23rd.

Meanwhile, Disney’s “Moana 2” sailed to third position, collecting £2 million, which brings its four-week total to £29.7 million.

On the other hand, Paramount’s “Gladiator II” wrapped up the top five with £497,569, reaching a mighty £29.6 million after six weeks of captivating audiences.
