‘Sonic 3’ bests ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ at the box office
SUMMARY: Paramount’s *Sonic the Hedgehog 3* topped the box office with a $62 million debut, outpacing Disney’s *Mufasa: The Lion King*, which earned $35 million. Strong reviews and high audience scores position *Sonic 3* to dominate the holiday season, a notable feat given the film’s $122 million production cost. *Mufasa* underperformed despite a wider release and high expectations, with its $200 million budget falling short. Video game adaptations, once criticized, have become reliable box office performers, with the *Sonic* franchise continuing to build success. Disney’s *Mufasa* received mixed reviews but earned an A- audience score. The holiday box office is strong, with family films like *Inside Out 2* and *Moana 2* performing well, helping Hollywood recover from a slow start to the year. Other films like *Wicked* and *Homestead* also contributed to the season’s success. Overall, family-oriented movies have played a key role in Hollywood’s rebound.
