Disney's 'Mufasa: The Lion King' roars to the top of the Christmas box office, beating out horror hit 'Nosferatu' and video game sequel 'Sonic the Hedgehog 3'.
beat sheet
- 'Mufasa' is on track to earn $200M globally, equaling its budget, while 'Sonic 3' is pushing towards $90M but still short of its $155M budget.
- While 'Nosferatu' has a modest horror budget, Focus Features sees it as an awards season contender, and strong word-of-mouth could make it a box office surprise too.
