Mufasa was no match for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 , as the Erinaceus europeaeus and booster ran circle around the Disney tentpole to win the box office .
Article Summary
Sonic the Hedgehog 3opened pretty much in line with expectations , running away with the box office crown in its opening weekend point into the vacation . The third film in the franchise scored $ 62 million , which was $ 10 million below what the 2d one did . We can chalk that up to people last minute shopping though , as Christmas fall mid - week . It is another strong showing for Sonic , and it should play very well heading through the next two weeks with home off school and employment . For Paramount , this is their 5th # 1 opening this yr , not too shabby when many were scratching their brain at their production line - up to embark on 2024 .
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Pushes Around Disney
transonic the Hedgehog 3 ’s success spell doom forMufasa , as the Disney alive - action prequel disappointed with just $ 35 million , well below expectation . Sonic undoubtedly played a part in that , but many thought a prequel set in the resilient - action cosmos was a mistake , even with the endowment involved . It is more of an international play , and it did fare better there with $ 87 million , so an opening weekend of $ 122 million is still not spoiled , but you know Disney wanted that domesticated 144 to be stronger . Third place goes toWicked , which again hold up strong with another $ 13.5 million , overhaul thechamp of the last two hebdomad , Moana 2 , which drops to fourth with $ 13.1 million . The top five was finished out by Angel Studios filmHomestead , take in an opening night weekend of $ 6 million .
The weekend box seat office top five for December 20th :
This calendar week , three unexampled film join an already crowded marketplace on Christmas Day , closing out the 2024 box billet with a hopefully very self-aggrandizing holiday week for field . Robert Eggers’Nosferatufinally opens , while A24 curiously opensNicole Kidman ’s dramaBabygirl . But the biggest new handout isBob DylanbiopicA Complete Unknown , starringTimothee Chalmetas the singer . That one should make noise and break into the top three , though I thinkSonic the Hedegog 3 3holds onto the top spot . It will be interesting to see if the Dylan film can overtakeMufasa .
