Sonic 3 Tops Box Office, Outruns The Lion King
Sonic the Hedgehog fans have been eagerly waiting for the showdown between their beloved blue hero and Disney's new Lion King prequel, Mufasa. Both movies hit theaters on December 20, and the results are in. Sonic 3 has not only impressed critics but also outperformed Mufasa at the domestic box office. With $62 million in earnings compared to Mufasa's $35 million, Sonic fans are celebrating this unexpected victory. Many doubted that a Sonic Adventure 2 adaptation could surpass a Disney classic, but here we are.
Sonic 3's Box Office Triumph
While Sonic 3 has taken the lead domestically, Mufasa still holds the top spot worldwide. It's important to note that Sonic 3 hasn't been released internationally yet. The film is set to roll out in various countries, including Japan, over the next few weeks. This means there's still a chance for Sonic 3 to catch up globally, given its strong performance in America.
Disney has already celebrated Mufasa's global success, labeling it the "number 1 movie in the world" on social media. This has sparked a debate among Sonic fans, who argue that the domestic success of Sonic 3 should not be overshadowed.
The Fan Reactions
Sonic fans are not holding back their excitement. They are claiming victory over the domestic box office and the positive reviews from critics. This win has fueled anticipation for a fourth Sonic movie, which is planned for release in spring 2027.
What's Next for Sonic?
The post-credits scene in Sonic 3 introduces new characters, leaving fans curious about how they will fit into the live-action universe. The mystery surrounding these characters adds to the excitement for future Sonic films.
