Christmas moviegoers visited the Pride Lands, propelling Disney's "Mufasa: The Lion King” to the top of the box office. The family friendly adventure was the holiday’s highest-grossing release, earning $14.

The sleepy Christmas Eve frame was led by 'Sonic the Hedgehog 3' with Timothee Chalamet Bob Dylan movie 'A Complete Unknown' grossing $1.4M in previews.

The holiday box office has been known to deliver a twist or two, and it happened again on Christmas Day as Disney's "Mufasa" is rebounding from a weak $35 million opening weekend to take the No. 1 spot on the Wednesday charts from Paramount's "Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

Varun Dhawan's much-awaited film Baby John started with promising numbers on its opening day, grossing an estimated Rs 11.25 crore in India on Christmas. However, the film's performance saw a drop on its second day.

Paramount's 'Sonic the Hedgehog 3' will continue its rally at the holiday box office with around $9M today at 3,761 locations for a running total of $69.1M.

The "Lion King" prequel was the biggest movie in North American theaters on Xmas. See what else people watched.

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.

Produced on a reported budget of $200 million, Mufasa still has a long way to go before it can be counted as a success.

It's looking like a very merry holiday for moviegoing as a flurry of titles, including Oscar contenders 'A Complete Unknown' and 'Babygirl,' open.
