The Lion King” and Paramount’s “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” are duking it out for first place at the North American box office with each of the family friendly films bringing in roughly $60 million over the five days since Christmas.

While Paramount's "Sonic 3" continues to earn the best numbers of the Sega series and Disney's "Mufasa" bounces back from a poor opening, Searchlight's "A Complete Unknown" is drawing in older audiences as "Nosferatu" is set to become one of the biggest hits ever for Focus Features.

Mufasa: The Lion King' is tipped to win the five-day Christmas holiday, although 'Sonic the Hedgehog' could top the three-day weekend chart.
