Box Office: ‘Sonic 3’ Bounds Over Hedge With $62M Opening, ‘Mufasa’ Limps to $35M
In an early holiday surprise, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 outperformed predictions by earning a $62 million opening in U.S. cinemas. This is the strongest start for a PG-rated film in December since The Chronicles of Narnia: The Witch, the Lion and the Wardrobe back in 2005, which predates inflation adjustments by nearly 20 years.
