Two family films dominated the holiday box office this week, with “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” winning the three-day weekend over “Mufasa” by a blue hair. Paramount's Sonic movie earned $38 million, while “Mufasa” brought in $37.

Reflecting back on 2024, it was a notably up and down year for films at the box office. The labor battles of 2023 forced some major schedule changes that had a big impact, and there were some notable flops and down periods,

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has made over $200 million worldwide, with $137 million from the domestic market. The movie might be on track to surpass the earnings of the first two films in the series. The entire Sonic trilogy might soon reach $1 billion of revenue at the international box office.
