Sonic The Hedgehog & Mufasa Top Box Office

The live-action Lion King prequel Mufasa and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 were in high demand at the weekend box office.  But what movie was tops?  Well, it depends on which scale you’re tallying.

While Mufasa‘s wide international release easily won it the top spot at the global box office, Sonic grossed nearly double the Disney film’s numbers domestically on fewer screens. The third in a series of action-packed adaptations of the original Sega video game from Paramount, Sonic the Hedgehog 3‘s domestic weekend gross totaled $62 million.

The latest in Disney’s trend of live-action remakes, reboots, and prequels to classic animated films, meanwhile, finished its debut weekend with $35 million in the domestic market but globally brought in $122 million globally.
