Jon Favreau's 'The Jungle Book' is taking the world by storm as he brings Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli to life with a little inspiration from Disney. Debuting at number one at the UK box office with an estimated £9.5 million opening weekend, the film has become the third biggest opening this year following 'Batman vs Superman' and 'Deadpool'. Not only in the UK, the movie has also taken over the entire lifetime of 'Titanic' and 'Life of Pi' within just one week, in India, making it the third-biggest Hollywood release ever. The film currently stands at $240 million, globally.
