The option to watchMufasa: The Lion Kingat home will come sooner than its Disney+ debut thanks to its release on PVOD. Disney usually makes its new movies available to buy or rent on digital after around 60 days. That would mean thatMufasa: The Lion King’s digital release could come in February 2025. It’s rare for Disney to go far beyond or well short of the 60 day range, so even ifMufasa: The Lion King’s box office over or underperforms, the digital release should not be impacted that much.
