: Update for more analysis ….Mufasa may have entered this holiday season as a lamb, but he remembered who he was on Christmas Day, as Disney’s lion prequel rebounded at the box office with $14.7M to Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s $10.

That success for “Mufasa” isn’t coming at the expense of “Sonic 3,” which continues to hum along with $10.3 million on Wednesday. The video game adaptation now has $88 million domestic and should reach $125-130 million by Sunday as it begins its overseas rollout.

Produced on a reported budget of $200 million, Mufasa still has a long way to go before it can be counted as a success.
