Sonic the Hedgehog 3 outperformed Mufasa: The Lion King by taking the top spot at the post-Christmas box office with a significant lead. The blue hedgehog’s latest adventure raked in $38 million over the weekend, while Mufasa came in second with $37 million.
Nosferatu, a horror film starring Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan, took third place with an impressive $21 million. This marks the highest post-Christmas gross for a genre film, according to Deadline. The long-awaited movie was likely boosted by its unique selling points, including 5,000 live rats and AMC’s sarcastic popcorn buckets.
Other notable films include A Complete Unknown, which surpassed projections with $11.6 million over the weekend, and Babygirl, which earned $4 million. The top 10 list is available on Box Office Mojo for further analysis.
