‘Sonic The Hedgehog 3’ $6.5M, ‘Mufasa’ $3.3M in Thursday previews

Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog 3 posted $6.5M last night in previews. That’s the official number from Paramount. Disney reports that Mufasa did $3.3M.

“Sonic the Hedgehog 3“ is expected to open to $60M while “Mufasa“ was originally forecasted to be north of $50M. Don’t know if “Mufasa“ will get there as its previews aren’t that far from Wonka ($3.5M) which did $39M and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse ($3.5M, and $35.4M).  
Mufasa carries a hefty budget north of $200 million, so Disney needs “Mufasa” to be the mane moviegoing event through the new year to justify that price tag.

The first “Sonic the Hedgehog” movie made $3 million in Thursday previews back in February 2020. Its sequel brought in $6.25 million in April 2022.

Disney’s “The Lion King” remake in July 2019 debuted with $23 million in previews. 

“Mufasa“ is booked at 4,100 theaters, “Sonic The Hedgehog 3“' at 3,761 theaters.

Saw both last night. I grew up with both franchise. Great movies.

I like sonic more because it got more actions in it. It's just more exciting. And the post credits are super exciting. Everybody were cheering. Just one step away for "that" character now.
