Mufasa: The Lion King' is tipped to win the five-day Christmas holiday, although 'Sonic the Hedgehog' could top the three-day weekend chart.

It’s a tight race between the still speeding “Sonic 3” and the resurgent “Mufasa” for No. 1, with the hedgehog currently having the edge with an estimated $37.4 million Fri.-Sun. total that is just a 38% drop from its $60 million opening weekend. “Mufasa” is just behind with an estimated $35 million, matching its opening weekend total.

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.
