Christmas moviegoers visited the Pride Lands, propelling Disney's "Mufasa: The Lion King” to the top of the box office. The family friendly adventure was the holiday’s highest-grossing release, earning $14.

The sleepy Christmas Eve frame was led by 'Sonic the Hedgehog 3' with Timothee Chalamet Bob Dylan movie 'A Complete Unknown' grossing $1.4M in previews.

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.
