The Lion King’ prequel had a bumpy start, debuting with a meager $35 million. While it's expected to make up some ground, 'Mufasa' still has ways to go.

That success for “Mufasa” isn’t coming at the expense of “Sonic 3,” which continues to hum along with $10.3 million on Wednesday. The video game adaptation now has $88 million domestic and should reach $125-130 million by Sunday as it begins its overseas rollout.

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