The much-anticipated “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” has dashed its way to the top of the US box office, leaving Disney’s “Mufasa: The Lion King” trailing behind. Sonic’s latest adventure earned a whopping $80 million in its opening weekend, eclipsing “Mufasa,” which brought in $55 million.
Fans of the speedy blue hedgehog flocked to theaters, eager to witness the continuation of Sonic’s thrilling saga. Critics have praised the film for its humor, fast-paced action, and stunning visuals, which resonate with both longtime fans and new audiences.
On the other hand, “Mufasa: The Lion King”, a prequel to the 1994 classic, received mixed reviews despite its visually captivating animation and nostalgic appeal. While “Mufasa” remains a strong contender internationally, Sonic’s popularity has proven unstoppable in North America.
With the holiday season approaching, the race is on to see which blockbuster will dominate the global box office. For now, Sonic speeds ahead as the reigning champion.
