Sonic The Hedgehog

Sonic 3 was the #1 film of its opening week, mostly on the back of its opening weekend. It actually fell to a disappointing #3 on Christmas. But as of yesterday it has climbed back to #1.

That's because they don't have the majorty of the screens and the film has yet to open internationally, the Lion King prequel has the majorty of the screens including IMAX, when the deal with Disney ends, you can bet the Lion King prequel will likely drop like a stone down the charts as Sonic speeds up as the Lion King prequel isn't exactly the hottest thing in town right now and cinema owners pretty much want to dump that film to the smaller screens to get Sonic on the bigger ones as that is what making the money right now

So we're on the same roller coaster as Sonic 2, where it will dip but rise again?

All Hail Shadow

Heroes Rise Again

Sonic 3 is still the #1 movie of the weekend, all three days, and has recouped its production budget just with domestic returns.

Mufasa actually made more in its second weekend than its opening weekend, but is still behind, despite still having the unfair advantage of being in more theaters. Disney can't be happy.

I've heard Disney is trying to push Mufasa out onto even more screens to try and crowd out Sonic 3. But no idea if that's legit or rumors.

They've done things like that before. They would rather burn money paying theaters to keep a movie going than let the record show they got beat.

Little did Mufasa know that a couple of hedgehogs would be a greater threat to his reign than Scar and the hyenas ever would.
