Sonic the Hedgehog fans declared war against the new Lion King prequel Mufasa when it was revealed that the blue blur’s third live-action movie and Disney’s latest photorealistic CGI venture would both release in theaters on the same day.

"Sonic the Hedgehog 3" took down the competition at the box office over the weekend. Erik Davis, the managing editor of Fandango, discusses the movie and other hits to see this holiday season.

The video game adaptation scored the second-best December openings ever for a PG-rated pic as Disney's follow-up to 2019's 'The Lion King' came in notably behind expectations.
