The film is a mixture of live action and animation
Disney's new version of The Jungle Book has taken a big bite out of the US box office, topping it with $103.6m (£73.1m) in its opening weekend.
Its debut was the second biggest April opening in history, behind only Furious 7's $147.2m (£104m) launch in 2015.
According to the studio, Jon Favreau's film also made an estimated $136.1m (£96m) outside the US and Canada.
Comedy sequel Barbershop: The Next Cut came a distant second, with opening weekend takings of $20.2m (£14.2m).
Disney has achieved success of late with transforming its classic cartoons into live-action remakes, including Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty makeover Maleficent.

Love the fact that Disney has been having tons of success during this decade.

I feel that the younger children will fine some the CGI of the animals scary.

I don't like the original Jungle Book, so it's obvious that I'm not interested.

Watched it! I loved it! Its exactly as it's advertised, a CGI/realistic remake of the 1967 original. The fact that it was practically a carbon copy in terms of dialogue hurt it in some places though. The musicals felt forced and out-of-nowhere, while in the original animation they felt natural.
