Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Easily Sprints Past Mufasa: The Lion King In Their Debuts At The Weekend Box Office

Movies


Like Thanksgiving last month, the weekend before Christmas is always a big showdown time for big studio blockbusters. The regular thinness of the release calendar in January allows for tentpole titles to grow long legs, so what may initially appear as a logjam can result in a whole lot of ticket sales. This year’s big faceoff was between Jeff Fowler’s Sonic The Hedgehog 3 and Barry Jenkins’ Mufasa: The Lion King, and round one of the box office battle has gone to the former.

The video game franchise has another big hit, while the Disney prequel didn’t get off to the fastest start. You can check out the results of the Top 10 below and join me after for analysis.
