Debut trailer for ‘The Lion King’ breaks streaming records

Looks like lots of people felt the love, or nostalgia at the very least. The debut trailer for the upcoming The Lion King remake broke streaming records with the video garnering 224.6 million views across multiple platforms in the first 24 hours of its release. It could’ve been the most viewed Disney movie in general but that honour goes to Avengers: Infinity War with one of its promotional videos garnering 238 million within an identical time period.  

The Lion King is set to come out on July 19, 2019. It’s directed by Jon Favreau and stars the likes of Donald Glover, Beyonce, James Earl Jones, Seth Rogen, and Billy Eichner. We’re linking the trailer again above in case you haven’t seen it yet (or just want to watch it again like us).
