‘Sonic 3' bests ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ at the box office
Associated PressNEW YORK — In the holiday season battle of big-budget family movies, Paramount Pictures’ “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” sped past the Walt Disney Co.’s “Mufasa: The Lion King” to take the top spot at the box office ahead of the lucrative Christmas corridor in theaters. It was telling of some wider trends that “Sonic 3” — made for $122 million — bested one of Disney’s top properties. In director Jeff Fowler’s “Sonic 3,” Ben Schwartz returns as the voice of the hedgehog, alongside Tails the Fox, Knuckles the Echidna and Jim Carrey in scene-stealing dual roles as Dr. Robotnik and his grandfather. “Moonlight” filmmaker Barry Jenkins directs “Mufasa’s” voice cast, including Aaron Pierre, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Donald Glover, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, Mads Mikkelsen and Blue Ivy Carter.
