Box Office: ‘Mufasa’ Beats ‘Sonic’ for No. 1 Over Christmas Stretch as ‘Nosferatu’ and ‘A Complete Unknown’ Start Strong


Disney's "Mufasa: The Lion King" and Paramount's "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" are duking it out for first place at the North American box office.

Disney’s “ Mufasa: The Lion King ” and Paramount’s “ Sonic the Hedgehog 3 ” are duking it out for first place at the North American box office with each of the family friendly films bringing in roughly $60 million over the five days since Christmas. Luckily, Chalamet has cemented his status as a bankable star with the successes of “Wonka” and “Dune: Part Two” while films focused on famous musicians, such as “Bob Marley: One Love,” “Elvis” and “Bohemian Rhapsody,” have been all the rage on the big screen. The film, following American professional boxer Claressa “T-Rex” Shields, is the feature directing debut of Rachel Morrison, the Oscar-nominated cinematographer of “Mudbound.” The $12 million-budgeted “The Fire Inside” has been embraced by critics and audiences with a 94% on Rotten Tomatoes and “A” grade on CinemaScore.
