Two family films dominated the holiday box office this week, with “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” narrowly edging out “Mufasa” by a slim margin. Paramount's Sonic movie raked in $38 million, while “Mufasa” brought in $37.1 million in the U.S. and Canada over the three-day weekend. However, when considering the five-day earnings due to the mid-week Christmas holiday, Disney's “Mufasa” took the lead with $63.8 million.
The theatrical landscape remained vibrant, with long-running successes like “Wicked” and “Moana 2” continuing to draw audiences into their sixth and fifth weekends, respectively.
