The pre-Christmas frame at the domestic box office is delivering the drama, although of an unexpected kind. Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King were projected to generate similar numbers in their opening weekends, but with one film over-performing and the other falling short of expectations, the domestic market was in for a surprise.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3, on the other hand, rode a wave of positive reviews on its way to a spectacular $62 million debut. By comparison, the first Sonic the Hedgehog movie opened to $58 million domestically and concluded its global run with just over $300 million in 2020, while Sonic the Hedgehog 2 opened to $72 million domestically and went on to gross over $400 million a couple of years later.
