Mufasa: The Lion King Outshines Sonic the Hedgehog 3 at the Box Office

Mufasa: The Lion King, the latest addition to the iconic franchise, has finally surged ahead of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in box office performance. This photorealistic computer-generated animated prequel, a follow-up to the 2019 remake of The Lion King, faced off against Sonic, the third entry in the live-action adaptation of the beloved video game series. Following its launch the weekend before Christmas, Mufasa initially debuted in the No. 2 position on the domestic chart, trailing Sonic in its first two weekends.

However, in an impressive turnaround, Mufasa steadily narrowed the gap, taking the lead on key dates such as Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day, along with several other significant days during the holiday season.

Latest Box Office Figures

According to a report from TheWrap, projections for the mutual third weekend suggest that Mufasa: The Lion King is set to earn approximately $24 million over three days. In contrast, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is estimated to pull in around $20.7 million, thus allowing Mufasa to claim the No. 1 position on the domestic box office chart for the first time.

This success is attributed to Mufasa’s solid performance, demonstrating a remarkable 3.9% increase in ticket sales from the previous weekend, while Sonic suffered a notable decline of 38.4%.
