Mufasa: The Lion King managed to beat Sonic the Hedgehog 3 at the domestic box office on New Year’s Day. Mufasa: The Lion King, which serves as a prequel to the 2019 The Lion King movie, brought in an additional $10.

Mufasa: The Lion King is showing its resilience at the US box office by sporting a 3.8% rise in its second weekend in theaters.

Having staged something of a comeback during the Christmas week — a historically lucrative period at the box office — Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King passed a couple of important milestones both domestically and worldwide this weekend.

The Lion King outperformed Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog 3 at the international box office, solidifying its global dominance. While both films competed strongly during the holiday season, Mufasa leveraged its international appeal to pull ahead of Sonic 3 in worldwide earnings.

In the holiday season battle of big-budget family movies, Paramount Pictures’ “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” sped past the Walt Disney Co.’s “Mufasa: The Lion King” to take the top spot at the box office.

"Mufasa" has reigned supreme at the global box office, but the "Lion King" prequel is lacking the bite of Disney's prior live-action adaptations.

The holidays mean family time — and that’s extended to the box office. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Mufasa: The Lion King were the top two films over Christmas in a neck-and-neck finish, earning $59.8 million and $63.

The sleepy Christmas Eve frame was led by 'Sonic the Hedgehog 3' with Timothee Chalamet Bob Dylan movie 'A Complete Unknown' grossing $1.4M in previews.

Mufasa: The Lion King features Aaron Pierre as the titular character. Now, the prequel movie has topped Nosferatu at the Christmas day box office.

Paramount’s 'Sonic the Hedgehog 3' raced to the top of the U.K. and Ireland box office with a $14.7 million opening weekend.

Two family films are dominating the holiday box office, with “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” winning the three-day weekend over “Mufasa” by a blue hair
