Mufasa: The Lion King managed to beat Sonic the Hedgehog 3 at the domestic box office on New Year’s Day. Mufasa: The Lion King, which serves as a prequel to the 2019 The Lion King movie, brought in an additional $10.

R-rated movie NOSFERTU made $40.3 million in its first five days, and A COMPLETE UNKNOWN, also rated R, made nearly three times less than MUFASA and SONIC in its first five days at $23.2 million.

Mufasa benefits from strong international sales, while Sonic 3 leverages its video game roots and family appeal.
