Mufasa is a like gourmet style dish, but it might not nasty very nice. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is like ordering a large pizza for you and your family to share.
Definitely Sonic 3. WAY more people are hyped for this than Mufasa because it's taking the games lore seriously. As for Mufasa, not sure because I heard they retconned his backstory to make him an orphan lion and an adoptive brother to Taka . Of course it could go another way since The Lion King is popular and the remake made a billion dollars, but we SHALL SEE.
@CharlieDalton-pc9hh Idk I prefer Sonic 3. They're making it for the fans! Disney is only making Mufasa to make more money and to cash in on the nostalgia of The Lion King. Sonic 3 has had better marketing. They even made a Christmas special and did many Christmas posters. Sonic 3 is a better movie than Mufasa.

Mufasa the lion King : Shadow help me! *Shadow grabs Mufasa hand* Shadow: long lives the ultimate life form! *Yeet* Box Office bomb: Mufasa the lion King:AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Disney:NOOOOO!!!!!!!!
I checked my local theaters and more seats were sold for the Sonic movie than mufasa. Hopefully Sonic wins. Only thing I want is it to do better then mufasa because Disney sucks
I usually think the whole Sonic vs Mufasa thing was really played for jokes. But I do think it has blown a bit out of proportion. I look at this way, both will make money, both will be successful, and both will be good for theaters. And I'm saying this as someone who is more bias towards Sonic.
No it has'nt because Mufasa failing is exactly what Disney needs right now. I know Sonic 3 will do well but it curbstomping what is essentially Disney's arrogance with the live action remakes blown up would be humble pie for them at the same time. And given how people tend to harass Disney for every little decision it's shocking that they keep rewarding low effort crap that spits in the face of the ACTUAL good movies.
@@forlornhauntedghostby saying there are no Mufasa fans, you're effectively saying there are no Lion King fans😂 do you not understand how ludicrous that is to say?
@@CoG2024 Not what he means. A ton of Lion King fans, myself included, drastically prefer the original over the live action remakes, and now that the original movie adaptation is over, the novelty has officially worn off. Since there’s less of a novelty factor, and nostalgia considering this is a new prequel set in the live action universe, longtime Disney fans such as myself aren’t being vocal about it because we frankly don’t care nearly as much about the results anymore. Meanwhile, Sonic 3 has a heap of hype behind it. I understand that the previous live action Lion king was a billion dollar success (which I believe was carried by nostalgic novelty just like the other remakes seemingly were), but after how much worse their last film was compared to the original, we Lion King fans feel betrayed and bitter about it. We’ll see how everything turns out though. Sonic has the better reputation but he’s clearly the underdog by comparison. On the other hand, the Lion King franchise has a billion dollar track record despite practically nobody being excited for the prequel, at least from what I’ve seen, especially amongst children. Sonic is the clear favorite here amongst the target demographic who never grew up with the original Lion King or the Disney renaissance of the 90s. Gen Z & Alpha people like me generally grew up on things like the MCU so Sonic naturally wins the familiarity contest which has greatly boosted his appeal. I think older generations who are too stuck in their ways have failed to acknowledge the power of generational gaps where internet icons such as Sonic are far more popular amongst children than Mufasa because the legacy of businesses like Disney doesn’t matter to them; because they never adapted to the necessary conditions to appeal to future generations like mine who’s main source of entertainment was UA-cam for most of our lives. The kids in my family only pay attention to the Sonic movie trailers, likely because they recognized the character from UA-cam and/or the games they play on their Switch. Therefore, it is reasonable to believe that Sonic 3 could potentially defeat Mufasa at the box office. Not to mention all of the Sonic toys my nephew’s been wanting for Christmas. That franchise is a lot more popular amongst children especially than a lot of outsiders think.
If we’re talking internationally, Mufasa is going to release in 7 regions from the 18th to the 20th. Sonic 3 is going to release in 26 regions (or 27) from the 20th all the way to January 15th. Might not change much, but it’s something.
One thing that I feel like is overlooked when it comes to this box office rivalry between Sonic and Mufasa is that hardly anyone is talking about the returns these movies have to make in order for their films to be profitable. Mufasa has much higher budget than Sonic 3 does. That means that Mufasa needs more box office money in order to make a decent return. Movies need to make 2-3x their budget just to break even. This gives Sonic an advantage over Mufasa because since Sonic’s budget is lower, Paramount has a significantly higher chance of making a return on their investment in their film. So even if on paper, Mufasa makes more money than Sonic, it won’t matter if Disney doesn’t make a profitable return on their investment.
both of these movies got first reactions and they're actually quite promising, I don't know which one I should choose Sonic Movie 3 or Mufasa of course I'm choosing Sonic movie 3 but I'm still excited for the Mufasa movie, but I bet the Sonic movie 3 is going to be Epic!!!!!!! because the marketing is great and Keanu Reeve is voicing Shadow!!! and Shadow Looks AMAZING
I think sonic 3’s marketing is going to help it a lot since we have been getting sonic figures since like September and they have many other stuff like before the trailer sonic images were being projected on buildings they have cardboard cut outs in theaters many merch for theaters to sell like blankets plushies popcorn bucket etc heck I’ve even saw a little racing like game in theaters but with mufasa the only marketing I’ve seen is the popcorn bucket and trailers they barely have any merchandise for mufasa and also I think sonic will win the Japan box office
Well this time I fell like the sonic marketing has been a little more world wide than just the us and the lion king remake was a while ago before live action remakes got the reputation they have now and don’t forget some scenes in sonic 3 take place in Japan
With Mufasa in the lion King they actually had an a lot of emotion to the characters like they’re full on smiles it’s not some frowns like they have full on emotion and I’m kind of happy for that so it’s going to win against sonic The Hedgehog 3 and I’m going to see both of them I love all those movies so
I really want to watch Mufasa first. It doesn’t really have as much recognition as Sonic 3, and I think it’s the first *actual* sequel/prequel to a Disney live action adaptation
2:49 Thankfully we won’t have to worry about the 2019 remake being the highest-grossing animated film of all time, because, obviously, Inside Out 2 dethroned it, and has the right to be the true the highest-grossing animated film of all time. But Sonic 3, definitely watching, especially since we Live and Learn.
@@SashaThomas954 Well, I don’t think it’s just biased. The animation for that movie was pretty groundbreaking. Without it, we probably would not get movies like Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
I’m watching Mufasa in mid-January (maybe Martin Luther King Day since I’m out of school) since I haven’t watched Moana 2 yet so I will watch Moana 2 and Sonic The Hedgehog 3 during my Christmas break and Mufasa during mid-january
The real reason I want Sonic 3 to win because i don’t really hate Mufasa, I just hate Disney for milking every live action remakes that no one cares about anymore.
I think all of knows that Sonic The Hedgehog 3 will have a bigger opening weekend than Mufasa: The Lion King. It’s been getting more hyped for a while now and I can see why since people don’t want to see a CGI movie from Disney, but I still hope that people will support and go see Mufasa: The Lion King because I think it deserves some love. I say that because 7 of the songs that LMM wrote and came out yesterday were AMAZING. Let’s just be thankful that it’s NOT another live action remake.
If Sonic is so known.....then why his movies, make little -money, at the (Box office, if Sonic is agame -character, he's definitely not "famous like (The Mario Bros.), do you see how much, they made $1.3biilion, sonic ain't never made $500-million, off none of his (movies")
@@Blazeyates Well he did beat a DC movie a long with a Marvel one in the Box Office ( Harley Quinn Birds Of Prey and Morbius ) sure the Sonic films didn’t break one billion yet but it just might with this third adaptation with Shadow being introduced. He is a very popular character in the franchise besides I heard this film is the best in the trilogy among fans that had already gotten a chance to see the film.
I think the international audience will heighten Mufasa The Lion King's box office numbers when its all set and done! Sonic MAYBE will be slightly ahead, but i think Mufasa will finish it imo. Edit: also i will say that most Sonic fans have been a pretty rude bunch anytime disney uploads anything bout Mufasa, its fine if people prefer to see sonic, but like cmon now...
Both Sonic and Lion King got their second wind around 2003 when I was in middle school with Amanda, Sonic with Sonic X and the McDonald’s Sega games, and Lion King’s IMAX reissue and platinum edition DVD with Disney Channel’s Circle of Stars so my verdict is both 😊
Im rooting for Sonic in this box office battle. Not because he's my favorite character in all of fiction, but like you said the hype for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is bigger than Mufasa. Also, it has a more promising story concept and I love watching these characters in these Sonic movies because they're so charming and likable.
Here in Brazil Disney is buying all teather rooms and sessions for Mufasa for days, leaving few sessions for Sonic 3. Some people on social media are reporting their local theaters won't even have any screening of Sonic 3 on premiere, or even at poster. Everything is just Mufasa
I think one advantage Sonic 3 might have over Mufasa that people might not realize is repeat watches! I can see Sonic fans seeing Sonic 3 opening weekend, then going back 2 or 3 more times to show their friends. Mufasa I feel like people might only see once, then wait for it to come to Disney+ if they want to see it again.
I’ve made my distain for Disney known in the past. In fact I haven’t even seen the first “live action” Lion King. So I’m only going to see Sonic 3, but more so by default. I’m skeptical about how that movie is going to adapt Sonic Adventure 2 given how in my opinion the second movie and the Knuckles series fumbled some of the lore surrounding the echidnas. I will at least say that when I saw the trailer for Mufasa, it looked more interesting than the 2019 remake, since it’s not adapting a pre-existing storyline. But that’s far from enough to get me to want to see it.
I’m gonna be completely honest right now. I feel like Zootopia 2 makes sense to make a sequel because there is a lot more you can do with it, especially that they are including reptiles in the movie which is very similar to how inside out 2 included new emotions and honestly it definitely does make sense for Zootopia to get a sequel especially Zootopia honestly feels like a franchise that you can explore more of the city and it’s worldbuilding and I feel like it does make sense to make a sequel to that movie and even Byron Howard, who directed the first movie and in Encanto is also directing the sequel, which honestly I feel like that’s great because he understands Zootopia
Christmas day is near: Sonic The Hedgehog 3 vs Mufasa The Lion King vs Nosferatu by Robert Eggers. This is absoluty triple battle Box Office for the Christmas.🎅🎄❄️
Unrelated, did ChillyChivy talked about a new Helluva Boss episode? That episode made me feel that i’ve been harshed on indie animation, especially in the dark period of UA-cam
Actually, the box office performance for Disney's The Little Mermaid remake did bad internationally. It may have done okay in the United States, but its box office performance overall, despite making a profit, was still disappointing.
The Sonic 3 movie is supposed to come out on the 21st December in the UK but for some weird reason, Vue decides to release the film a day early. Also, for some unknown reason, Cineworld already released Sonic 3 movie popcorn tins and cups with cup toppers early. In regards to this Friday at the Vue cinema at Printworks in Manchester, it’s almost sold out. I just snagged one of the last three seats just in time. As I’ve said in a previous review, marketing can make or break a movie. Without marketing, no one is going to know about the existence of a movie. In other words, there is next to no marketing for Mufasa in my homecity as far as I know. This means Mufasa will potentially tank at the box office. In other words, lose.
If mufasa wins first week its because many countries including mine chose to keep muafasas premier at 19th while moved sonic 3s to the 26th. Which sucks tbh.
James Marsden might be the reason Mufasa wins against Sonic. I've heard rumors of James writing a supportive letter to Brian Peck, who SA'd Drake Bell. I've seen many, MANY people saying they won't go see Sonic 3 for that reason.
I heard about that controversy myself and honestly, while I do think James Marsden is wrong for supporting a child molester 100%, that really shouldn’t be a factor in going to see the movie. It’s a minor controversy at best. He didn’t contribute to Drake Bell’s sexual assault, he just supported a man that did it and probably didn’t know at the time. Granted when he found out he didn’t exactly apologize for doing so, but many people from what I’ve seen have pretty much forgotten about that whole controversy. This would probably explain why Tom Wachowski wasn’t in the Knuckles TV show. He needed time for the controversy to die down. Plus, he’s not the main star of the movie. Honestly letting one bad egg spoil the broth for yourself is petty in my opinion. It’s like not going to see Wicked in theatres because Cynthia Erivo annoyingly bitched out a fan for the fan edited poster they made on Twitter.
I am definitely watching Sonic in the theater. It looks to be more fun and I also heard a few reviews but still I am trying to stay clear of spoilers. But I might forget Mufasa exists like I did with the 2019 Lion King. I didn’t like it at all it’s a remake that didn’t change anything from the original just felt soulless and it wasn’t exactly a movie I enjoyed in the theater. I will admit Mufasa looks a little better than the first one but not enough for me to take a chance on especially with Disney making Mufasa be an orphaned cub also I find it weird that Taka is British but he didn’t have the accent in Lion King 2019. I might give it a chance later on when it’s on Disney plus but I am not going to waste a ticket to go see it
Sonic is taking it home man honestly if you're movie has Keanu in it you're doing something right they did their homework with Sonic 3 mufasa is just a cash grab movie with Disney since all they want is money sonic 3 listened to the fans and for Mufasa they didn't even pay wishes to James Earl Jones they just said we're gonna make another one like Disney always does it's always cash grab live action movies I'm sick of it
I literally sent a photo in a discord server, it was sonic 3 vs mufasa and sonic 3 and sonic 3 got more votes..mufasa literally got 0💀 Note this server isn’t a Sonic fan server
Oh please we all know the Hedgehogs were Going to Win over the Lions One Way or Another, if this was a 2D Animated Movie then it would be a Real Competition, in all Honesty Transformers One is Better than This, Sonic 3 Wins.
I'd love to see Scar's backstory to see why he turned evil but I've been anticipating Sonic the Hedgehog 3 more. Also nobody's talked about the Mufasa movie except the trailer for it so I'm gonna have to say Sonic the Hedgehog 3 hands down.
I’ll watch both but I’m going to see Sonic 3 first and then save Mufasa for Disney Plus. I feel like Sonic 3 will be better but Mufasa will be better than the 2019 movie.
Here's the thing. Who's got a more...radical...fanbase? As dedicated as Sonic fans are (myself included) they got NOTHING on Disney Adults. People will FLOCK to a movie they KNOW will be a disappointment. Maybe the marketing will help. I work in a major retailer, and Sonic 3 toys FLY off the shelves, we have NOTHING for Mufasa. Hopefully that's a good sign. I can imagine opening weekend Sonic slams, but then word of mouth happens and people hear of a new Disney Movie and go check it out.
Even if Mufasa makes more money, there’s no doubt it’ll immediately be forgotten by audiences and regarded as a bad and pointless film, unlike Sonic 3 where from what we’ve seen in the trailers and heard from the team and early reviews that this is going to be an amazing movie that’ll be beloved and rewatched time and time again by many people.
@ I understand that not everyone can see the dislike ratio, but the teaser for Mufasa alone had over 218K dislikes as apposed to 102K likes in just the first two days. I’m not saying there isn’t anyone looking forward to Mufasa, I’m just saying that no matter how much money it makes, it’ll undoubtedly be looked back on by many people as a soulless cash grab, much like the 2019 remake.
@ I’ll take your word for it, but still doesn’t mean that I have to like this lazy route Disney’s taking of pandering to fans of their beloved classics, all for the sake of squeezing easy money out of us, instead of focusing on making new original films that can continue that same magic films such as from the renaissance era brought.
@@sweetdreams1028 no offense but you say that Disney is not making original film while Disney has puted out most of the original projects this decade like Free guy Poor things Death on the Nile Darby and the death The princess Rosaline Strange world Raya Wish A real pain Turning red Kinds of kindness Encanto Luca And many more and also guess what almost all of these have underperformed or bombed at the box office
Right now I think Sonic 3 can hit 90 million for it's opening weekend though I could see it getting higher, 90 is the safe bet I think after that so long as it clicks well I think 600 to 700 million is a reasonable expectation. Though I'm of the belief this has potential to reach a billion too but so long as it does well and M beatufasa a billion is not a huge thing for me.
The Lion King is one of my favourite Disney movies… which is why I’ll be rewatching it on Disney+ and going to see Sonic 3 in the cinema instead of the insult that is Mufasa.
If lion king is one of your favorite animated movies of all time why don't you just suck it up and go see mufasa in cinemas and mufasa is not an insult lol
@ Why would I want to put myself through that unnecessarily when there’s an infinitely better film I can watch at home for free? What have you seen that makes you think it’s not an insult to the original? “You know how you thought Mufasa was descended from the Great Kings of the Past? Well actually he was an orphan and stole the throne from the rightful King Taka.” I don’t need that kind of nonsense in my life.
@@richardblakely6854 as a said some films you just need to suck it up and go see it as far as it's good and so far mufasa has been getting positive reactions which is a good sign
@ Why would anyone suck it up and pay money to go see a film in the cinema which they don’t want to see when, I repeat, there is an infinitely better film they could see at home for free? Modern Disney has not inspired me with a lot of confidence in their output of late.
@@richardblakely6854 I know a lot and I mean a lot of people that hated mufasa at the beginning of the year when the teaser trailer dropped and they are going give mufasa a chance because of the positive wom and because of the good soundtrack You should do the same if the film is a good movie and no lion king movie will be better than the original everyone knows that people will just go to see it because of there love of the animated version and because it's technically an original story
Bunch of thirteen-year-old edgelords want Sonic to win soooo badly. Sure, I was hesitant with Mufasa at first, like the rest of us, but then through the marketing and Lebo M.’s music I was like “damn, maybe Barry Jenkins actually cooked here?”. So yeah. I’m actually looking forward to Mufasa now, but Sonic 3? Eh. Just *eh*.
Idk if u know this but Dec 20 is only us opening day not for other countries for us it's 26 😢 I'm just waiting for this movie I can't wait another 6 days
I would be seeing Mufasa if it was animated but it is not so too bad, I mean I thought it would have been cool to see the format of how Mufasa and Scar are royalty and etc, but I hate how they changed it to be photorealistic and also another thing that is a nope to me for Mufasa is that in this one Mufasa is an orphan which is blasphemous to the original Lion King Story and etc. I hate to see that Disney now does all photorealistic things of their animated classics. And even more so for the Lion King since that has no humans only animals, like Sonic at least has good art with the cgi and etc instead of photorealistic animals. And Sonic also has humans so live-action is still good, but the LIon King is all animals, and unlike the way to make the characters look like they should in 2019 movie they looked nothing like they should have compared to the 1994 movie. And also I Think that like if Mufasa was in 2000s or late 1990s i think i would be more exicted to see it. But now I think my nolstalgia has pretty much died to the point i am only looking for animated classic disney movies i remember not the new live-action ones i think butchers their beloved animal protagonists looks and etc.
🤦♂️ Bruh, This Competition Between Sonic 3 And Mufasa is So Ridiculous, i'm Excited For Both, I Just Think They Are Both Good Upcoming Movies In General, I Like The Live Action Remake It's Cool, I Love Both Versions OF The Lion King, So I'm Excited For Both Sonic 3 And Mufasa 😎💯.
I don’t believe Mufasa is canon to the 1994 Lion King,but the live action Lion King and I believe the live action Lion kings movies are alternate universe and only believe is canon to the 1994 Lion King is Lion King 2:Simba’s Pride,Lion King 1 1/2,and Lion guard. Also not going see the Mufasa because wasn’t Huge fan of live action Lion King and my opinion Lion King it the worst Disney live action of all time and the trailers I saw I don’t like what they doing Lion King like make Mufasa a orphan and Scar the rightful king make no sense. Also My opinion 1994 Lion King is one of the best thing Disney ever made and Scar is my favorite Disney villain of all time.
Sonic 3 in america, mufasa internationally. Thats my predictionè Its funny cuz I love both TLK and Sonic, but lol, i dont like anything TLK past the first movie and i hated the remake and Ive seen Taka vs Mufasa story done way better before, and I hate Disney also. But realistically moms will gonna take the kids to the lion movie.
Now for Sonic the Hedgehog 3: Differently hyoe for so many reason And Mufasa the Lion King: Am differently looking forward to it especially since the flim gonna be a tribute to James Earl Jones plus the soundtrack was drop yesterday and honestly the first time a Disney's soundtracks since Encanto that actually catchy
Bro you are being to low on both film i see sonic 3 wining opening weekend but here is my projections Sonic 86 opening weekend 300 domestic gross 330 nternational gross 630 worldwide gross Mufasa the lion king 60 opening weekend 250 domestic gross 480 international gross 730 Worldwide gross
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will be way more fun to watch than Mufasa
Mufasa is a like gourmet style dish, but it might not nasty very nice. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is like ordering a large pizza for you and your family to share.

I’m watching Mufasa in mid-January (maybe Martin Luther King Day since I’m out of school) since I haven’t watched Moana 2 yet so I will watch Moana 2 and Sonic The Hedgehog 3 during my Christmas break and Mufasa during mid-january
The real reason I want Sonic 3 to win because i don’t really hate Mufasa, I just hate Disney for milking every live action remakes that no one cares about anymore.
I think all of knows that Sonic The Hedgehog 3 will have a bigger opening weekend than Mufasa: The Lion King. It’s been getting more hyped for a while now and I can see why since people don’t want to see a CGI movie from Disney, but I still hope that people will support and go see Mufasa: The Lion King because I think it deserves some love. I say that because 7 of the songs that LMM wrote and came out yesterday were AMAZING. Let’s just be thankful that it’s NOT another live action remake.
If Sonic is so known.....then why his movies, make little -money, at the (Box office, if Sonic is agame -character, he's definitely not "famous like (The Mario Bros.), do you see how much, they made $1.3biilion, sonic ain't never made $500-million, off none of his (movies")
@@Blazeyates
Well he did beat a DC movie a long with a Marvel one in the Box Office ( Harley Quinn Birds Of Prey and Morbius ) sure the Sonic films didn’t break one billion yet but it just might with this third adaptation with Shadow being introduced. He is a very popular character in the franchise besides I heard this film is the best in the trilogy among fans that had already gotten a chance to see the film.
@tyanathriller I do believe this movie, will make some nice money!!
I think the international audience will heighten Mufasa The Lion King's box office numbers when its all set and done! Sonic MAYBE will be slightly ahead, but i think Mufasa will finish it imo.
Edit: also i will say that most Sonic fans have been a pretty rude bunch anytime disney uploads anything bout Mufasa, its fine if people prefer to see sonic, but like cmon now...
Both Sonic and Lion King got their second wind around 2003 when I was in middle school with Amanda, Sonic with Sonic X and the McDonald’s Sega games, and Lion King’s IMAX reissue and platinum edition DVD with Disney Channel’s Circle of Stars so my verdict is both 😊
Im rooting for Sonic in this box office battle. Not because he's my favorite character in all of fiction, but like you said the hype for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is bigger than Mufasa. Also, it has a more promising story concept and I love watching these characters in these Sonic movies because they're so charming and likable.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie 2024 and I am excited to see it
Here in Brazil Disney is buying all teather rooms and sessions for Mufasa for days, leaving few sessions for Sonic 3.
Some people on social media are reporting their local theaters won't even have any screening of Sonic 3 on premiere, or even at poster. Everything is just Mufasa
Yoshi’s Island song playing while Sonic 3 clips shows 😂
I think one advantage Sonic 3 might have over Mufasa that people might not realize is repeat watches! I can see Sonic fans seeing Sonic 3 opening weekend, then going back 2 or 3 more times to show their friends. Mufasa I feel like people might only see once, then wait for it to come to Disney+ if they want to see it again.
shadow:long live the king 😈🗿
mufasa:it cant be noooo! 😭
I’ve made my distain for Disney known in the past. In fact I haven’t even seen the first “live action” Lion King. So I’m only going to see Sonic 3, but more so by default. I’m skeptical about how that movie is going to adapt Sonic Adventure 2 given how in my opinion the second movie and the Knuckles series fumbled some of the lore surrounding the echidnas. I will at least say that when I saw the trailer for Mufasa, it looked more interesting than the 2019 remake, since it’s not adapting a pre-existing storyline. But that’s far from enough to get me to want to see it.
It sucks Mufasa got to release here early while I have to wait for Sonic 3 next year.
I’m gonna be completely honest right now. I feel like Zootopia 2 makes sense to make a sequel because there is a lot more you can do with it, especially that they are including reptiles in the movie which is very similar to how inside out 2 included new emotions and honestly it definitely does make sense for Zootopia to get a sequel especially Zootopia honestly feels like a franchise that you can explore more of the city and it’s worldbuilding and I feel like it does make sense to make a sequel to that movie and even Byron Howard, who directed the first movie and in Encanto is also directing the sequel, which honestly I feel like that’s great because he understands Zootopia
I’m more excited for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 because it’s filled with alot of action
Christmas day is near: Sonic The Hedgehog 3 vs Mufasa The Lion King vs Nosferatu by Robert Eggers.
This is absoluty triple battle Box Office for the Christmas.🎅🎄❄️
I’m watching Sonic 3 at the same time as my sister, who’s watching Mufasa (On the 21st when it comes out for me)
Tbh I am excited for both since I like both
Unrelated, did ChillyChivy talked about a new Helluva Boss episode? That episode made me feel that i’ve been harshed on indie animation, especially in the dark period of UA-cam
Actually, the box office performance for Disney's The Little Mermaid remake did bad internationally. It may have done okay in the United States, but its box office performance overall, despite making a profit, was still disappointing.
I just saw a guy fall into TEARS because of Sonic 3 GET OUT OF HERE MUFASS
The Sonic 3 movie is supposed to come out on the 21st December in the UK but for some weird reason, Vue decides to release the film a day early. Also, for some unknown reason, Cineworld already released Sonic 3 movie popcorn tins and cups with cup toppers early.
In regards to this Friday at the Vue cinema at Printworks in Manchester, it’s almost sold out. I just snagged one of the last three seats just in time.
As I’ve said in a previous review, marketing can make or break a movie. Without marketing, no one is going to know about the existence of a movie. In other words, there is next to no marketing for Mufasa in my homecity as far as I know. This means Mufasa will potentially tank at the box office. In other words, lose.
Despite popular beliefs, Shadow isn't more popular than Sonic. He still remains the 2nd most popular character since his inroduction.
One week.
Sonic the hedgehog 3 vs Mufasa The Lion King
SONIC 3 ON TOP💙💛❤🖤💫
Seeing as the second movie didn't make that much money, I have doubts that Sonic 3 will win, but it does have shadow.
The Sonic Fandom vs Disney Adults
If mufasa wins first week its because many countries including mine chose to keep muafasas premier at 19th while moved sonic 3s to the 26th. Which sucks tbh.
Sonic3 is not main corse but good vid😊
I'm seeing both
1:56 honestly I’m quite curious of how they will do the tangled remake
James Marsden might be the reason Mufasa wins against Sonic. I've heard rumors of James writing a supportive letter to Brian Peck, who SA'd Drake Bell. I've seen many, MANY people saying they won't go see Sonic 3 for that reason.
I heard about that controversy myself and honestly, while I do think James Marsden is wrong for supporting a child molester 100%, that really shouldn’t be a factor in going to see the movie. It’s a minor controversy at best.
He didn’t contribute to Drake Bell’s sexual assault, he just supported a man that did it and probably didn’t know at the time. Granted when he found out he didn’t exactly apologize for doing so, but many people from what I’ve seen have pretty much forgotten about that whole controversy. This would probably explain why Tom Wachowski wasn’t in the Knuckles TV show. He needed time for the controversy to die down. Plus, he’s not the main star of the movie. Honestly letting one bad egg spoil the broth for yourself is petty in my opinion. It’s like not going to see Wicked in theatres because Cynthia Erivo annoyingly bitched out a fan for the fan edited poster they made on Twitter.
@@christscrackers647The difference is, Cynthia was a drama queen. James supports Brian Peck. A pedophile that brought a big scar to Drake Bell.
And with that logic, Sonic 3 is going to win over Mufasa because of the Jay Z and Diddy stuff going around these days
Sonic The Hedgehog 3, hands down😎🏆.
I am definitely watching Sonic in the theater. It looks to be more fun and I also heard a few reviews but still I am trying to stay clear of spoilers.
But I might forget Mufasa exists like I did with the 2019 Lion King. I didn’t like it at all it’s a remake that didn’t change anything from the original just felt soulless and it wasn’t exactly a movie I enjoyed in the theater. I will admit Mufasa looks a little better than the first one but not enough for me to take a chance on especially with Disney making Mufasa be an orphaned cub also I find it weird that Taka is British but he didn’t have the accent in Lion King 2019.
I might give it a chance later on when it’s on Disney plus but I am not going to waste a ticket to go see it
Sonic is taking it home man honestly if you're movie has Keanu in it you're doing something right they did their homework with Sonic 3 mufasa is just a cash grab movie with Disney since all they want is money sonic 3 listened to the fans and for Mufasa they didn't even pay wishes to James Earl Jones they just said we're gonna make another one like Disney always does it's always cash grab live action movies I'm sick of it
If mufasa wins at the box office I’m going to break my copy of sonicXshadow genarations maybe even my Nintendo switch
I literally sent a photo in a discord server, it was sonic 3 vs mufasa and sonic 3 and sonic 3 got more votes..mufasa literally got 0💀
Note this server isn’t a Sonic fan server
Oh please we all know the Hedgehogs were Going to Win over the Lions One Way or Another, if this was a 2D Animated Movie then it would be a Real Competition, in all Honesty Transformers One is Better than This, Sonic 3 Wins.
I'd love to see Scar's backstory to see why he turned evil but I've been anticipating Sonic the Hedgehog 3 more. Also nobody's talked about the Mufasa movie except the trailer for it so I'm gonna have to say Sonic the Hedgehog 3 hands down.
I’ll watch both but I’m going to see Sonic 3 first and then save Mufasa for Disney Plus. I feel like Sonic 3 will be better but Mufasa will be better than the 2019 movie.
Lion king is good
Here's the thing.
Who's got a more...radical...fanbase?
As dedicated as Sonic fans are (myself included) they got NOTHING on Disney Adults. People will FLOCK to a movie they KNOW will be a disappointment.
Maybe the marketing will help. I work in a major retailer, and Sonic 3 toys FLY off the shelves, we have NOTHING for Mufasa. Hopefully that's a good sign.
I can imagine opening weekend Sonic slams, but then word of mouth happens and people hear of a new Disney Movie and go check it out.
Im going to see sonic 3 right on the day it shadows into theaters mostly because of shadow hopefully and hopefully see it in screenX
You might have to wait and see
Even if Mufasa makes more money, there’s no doubt it’ll immediately be forgotten by audiences and regarded as a bad and pointless film, unlike Sonic 3 where from what we’ve seen in the trailers and heard from the team and early reviews that this is going to be an amazing movie that’ll be beloved and rewatched time and time again by many people.
It seems like you leave under a rock because last time I checked mufasa also has pretty good word of mouth
@ I understand that not everyone can see the dislike ratio, but the teaser for Mufasa alone had over 218K dislikes as apposed to 102K likes in just the first two days. I’m not saying there isn’t anyone looking forward to Mufasa, I’m just saying that no matter how much money it makes, it’ll undoubtedly be looked back on by many people as a soulless cash grab, much like the 2019 remake.
@@sweetdreams1028 that's just the teaser trailer the original trailer has way more likes than dislikes
@ I’ll take your word for it, but still doesn’t mean that I have to like this lazy route Disney’s taking of pandering to fans of their beloved classics, all for the sake of squeezing easy money out of us, instead of focusing on making new original films that can continue that same magic films such as from the renaissance era brought.
@@sweetdreams1028 no offense but you say that Disney is not making original film while Disney has puted out most of the original projects this decade like
Free guy
Poor things
Death on the Nile
Darby and the death
The princess
Rosaline
Strange world
Raya
Wish
A real pain
Turning red
Kinds of kindness
Encanto
Luca
And many more and also guess what almost all of these have underperformed or bombed at the box office
Sonic's got this.
Looking forward to Sonic 3 didn't even watch the 1st Lion King live action.
Right now I think Sonic 3 can hit 90 million for it's opening weekend though I could see it getting higher, 90 is the safe bet I think after that so long as it clicks well I think 600 to 700 million is a reasonable expectation. Though I'm of the belief this has potential to reach a billion too but so long as it does well and M beatufasa a billion is not a huge thing for me.
The Lion King is one of my favourite Disney movies…
which is why I’ll be rewatching it on Disney+ and going to see Sonic 3 in the cinema instead of the insult that is Mufasa.
If lion king is one of your favorite animated movies of all time why don't you just suck it up and go see mufasa in cinemas and mufasa is not an insult lol
@ Why would I want to put myself through that unnecessarily when there’s an infinitely better film I can watch at home for free?
What have you seen that makes you think it’s not an insult to the original? “You know how you thought Mufasa was descended from the Great Kings of the Past? Well actually he was an orphan and stole the throne from the rightful King Taka.” I don’t need that kind of nonsense in my life.
@@richardblakely6854 as a said some films you just need to suck it up and go see it as far as it's good and so far mufasa has been getting positive reactions which is a good sign
@ Why would anyone suck it up and pay money to go see a film in the cinema which they don’t want to see when, I repeat, there is an infinitely better film they could see at home for free?
Modern Disney has not inspired me with a lot of confidence in their output of late.
@@richardblakely6854 I know a lot and I mean a lot of people that hated mufasa at the beginning of the year when the teaser trailer dropped and they are going give mufasa a chance because of the positive wom and because of the good soundtrack
You should do the same if the film is a good movie and no lion king movie will be better than the original everyone knows that people will just go to see it because of there love of the animated version and because it's technically an original story
Ain’t no one watching An oversized feline. I want to see my black and red shadow wielding a blicky.
🤣 Hahaha
Sonic 3 will win
I think in terms of Box Office Sonic 3 will probably win Domestically, Worldwide idk
Mufasa will probably get more people, but Sonic 3 will be a better movie imo
Bunch of thirteen-year-old edgelords want Sonic to win soooo badly.
Sure, I was hesitant with Mufasa at first, like the rest of us, but then through the marketing and Lebo M.’s music I was like “damn, maybe Barry Jenkins actually cooked here?”.
So yeah.
I’m actually looking forward to Mufasa now, but Sonic 3?
Eh. Just *eh*.
The next Baebinhimer is coming!
Idk if u know this but Dec 20 is only us opening day not for other countries for us it's 26 😢 I'm just waiting for this movie I can't wait another 6 days
Already bought my sonic 3 tickets for the 19th
Looks like the Disney slander won’t stop.(No “They want money” excuse please)
I would be seeing Mufasa if it was animated but it is not so too bad, I mean I thought it would have been cool to see the format of how Mufasa and Scar are royalty and etc, but I hate how they changed it to be photorealistic and also another thing that is a nope to me for Mufasa is that in this one Mufasa is an orphan which is blasphemous to the original Lion King Story and etc.
I hate to see that Disney now does all photorealistic things of their animated classics. And even more so for the Lion King since that has no humans only animals, like Sonic at least has good art with the cgi and etc instead of photorealistic animals. And Sonic also has humans so live-action is still good, but the LIon King is all animals, and unlike the way to make the characters look like they should in 2019 movie they looked nothing like they should have compared to the 1994 movie. And also I Think that like if Mufasa was in 2000s or late 1990s i think i would be more exicted to see it. But now I think my nolstalgia has pretty much died to the point i am only looking for animated classic disney movies i remember not the new live-action ones i think butchers their beloved animal protagonists looks and etc.
🤦♂️ Bruh, This Competition Between Sonic 3 And Mufasa is So Ridiculous, i'm Excited For Both, I Just Think They Are Both Good Upcoming Movies In General, I Like The Live Action Remake It's Cool, I Love Both Versions OF The Lion King, So I'm Excited For Both Sonic 3 And Mufasa 😎💯.
Mufasa is a film for the critics and hardcore Disney fans. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is more for Sonic fans and casual fans.
Last time a checked sonic 2 made 405mill so what general audience are you talking about
2 days left
I’ve looked on Imagine in the tickets are not sold out
PLS BE SONIC
Both
Sonic will win its better
It's not even out
Disney will make a live action kingdom hearts movie
Sonic 3!
Sonic movie 3 definitely will win for shure
Sonic 3 easily wins this
I don’t believe Mufasa is canon to the 1994 Lion King,but the live action Lion King and I believe the live action Lion kings movies are alternate universe and only believe is canon to the 1994 Lion King is Lion King 2:Simba’s Pride,Lion King 1 1/2,and Lion guard.
Also not going see the Mufasa because wasn’t Huge fan of live action Lion King and my opinion Lion King it the worst Disney live action of all time and the trailers I saw I don’t like what they doing Lion King like make Mufasa a orphan and Scar the rightful king make no sense.
Also My opinion 1994 Lion King is one of the best thing Disney ever made and Scar is my favorite Disney villain of all time.
why did they not just make a live action to simbas pride
Thinking sonic beats mufasa is just delusion come on, im a sonic fan but come on
I’ll be honest the mufasa prequel just makes me mad that it exist because it has no reason and no one wanted it
Sonic 3 in america, mufasa internationally. Thats my predictionè
Its funny cuz I love both TLK and Sonic, but lol, i dont like anything TLK past the first movie and i hated the remake and Ive seen Taka vs Mufasa story done way better before, and I hate Disney also. But realistically moms will gonna take the kids to the lion movie.
Wait so you don't like Simba's pride or lion king 1/half
Now for
Sonic the Hedgehog 3: Differently hyoe for so many reason
And
Mufasa the Lion King: Am differently looking forward to it especially since the flim gonna be a tribute to James Earl Jones plus the soundtrack was drop yesterday and honestly the first time a Disney's soundtracks since Encanto that actually catchy
1:55 EXCUSE ME? THIS MOVIE IS FINE ON ITS OWN THIS IS WHY I HATE DISNEY.
3:52 MUFASA:THE LION KING SEATS VS 4:15 SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 SEATS AND THAT IS A LOT OF SEATS FOR SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3
