Sonic the Hedgehog 3 shocked the world just before Christmas last year when it opened to a whopping $60 million to take the first place spot from Mufasa: The Lion King. At the time, it looked like Mufasa was in danger of being one of the biggest box office flops ever, especially considering its predecessor grossed well over $1 billion globally, but the film has since turned things around and has now closed the gap on Sonic 3. Mufasa: The Lion King is currently the 10th highest-grossing movie of 2024 domestically with Sonic 3 at #9, but Sonic holds a lead of less than $500,000 over Mufasa, meaningTheLion King prequel/sequel will likely pass Sonic 3 domestically this weekend, if not before.
