The Jungle Book set for an explosive Box Office run

Walt Disney is set to take home a huge box office sum following the much-anticipated premiere of The Jungle Book reboot film around the world. There is so much hype around the film which is set to first premiere in India on April 8th that is a week prior to the US and UK's April 15th release date.

According to the producers of this epic jungle film, an early release in India will see its box office earnings shoot through the roof. Moreover, this move is widely seen as Disney's ingenious step to pay homage to Neel Sethi who plays main protagonist Mowgli and is of Indian-origin. If numbers are anything to go buy, the revenue possibilities in India are astounding with a projected massive 1.2 billion run at the box office.

However, this film is nothing new in Hollywood's growing trend of releasing blockbuster flicks in India first even before the US. Films such as Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Adventures of Tintin: The Secret Unicorn were all released in India way before the US and now The Jungle Book will join this list.

The Jungle Book is based on the story of Mowgli, a human boy raised by wolves, Baloo the bear played by Bill Murray and Bagheera the black panther or Mowgli's guardian played by Ben Kingsley. Mogwli has to overcome the main antagonist Shere Khan played by Idris Elba so as to survive in the jungle. Other A-list actors who lend their voices in this reboot include: Scarlett Johansson who plays Kaa, Lupita Nyongo who portrays Raksha, Giancarlo Esposito who voices Akela and Christopher Walken as King Louie.

The CGI-generated film is a remake of the 1967 animated Jungle Book film and it generated world-wide attention immediately the teaser trailers were released. The film's Director Jon Favreau employs the use of CGI technology to accurately draw and breathe life Rudyard Kipling's fictional jungle. All this is of course in line with Disney's culture of turning animated classics into majestic live-action adaptations which will no-doubt sweep all box office sales.

According to the released trailers, the film is fast-paced, comedic and pretty dark tone to it much different from the playful animated version. This difference in viewer-experience and appeal is what will leave viewers at the edge of their seats. Also, the casting of comedians to voice the CGI character such as the black panther and the bear took the reboot a notch higher in terms of substance, humor and the a comedic flair. It begs that every little detail of the reboot was re-imagined or given a fresh touch.
