[Neon Ignition]

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Box Office Mojo
Early figures are in with much of the international picture incomplete but resting on the domestic takings the third Sonic film opened in first with $63m

Mufasa: The Lion King - Box Office Mojo
The prequel opened along side it with $122m which sounds like a win but the figure is low given its predecessor and also covers its full international takings - its domestic total coming in at half that of Sonic 3, so when the blue blur reports its final figure it seems likely that the Disney King has been dethroned

Moana 2 - Box Office Mojo
Holding much better for the mouse house, this sequel hits $790m this week

Wicked - Box Office Mojo
And the musical adaptation rises to $571m

Gladiator II - Box Office Mojo
A jump to $406m suggests we're near the end now

Kraven: The Hunter - Box Office Mojo
Similar already for this one which hit $42m this week

The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim - Box Office Mojo
$15m total puts this at an even worse position

Wicked - Box Office Mojo
Whilst Xmas has helped the musical hit $634m just days before it hits digital

Holding even stronger, the Disney sequel lapped up $882m this week

Gladiator II - Box Office Mojo
With $435m being this sequel latest conquest

Kraven: The Hunter - Box Office Mojo
$52m this week begins to firmly rule out triple digits

The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim - Box Office Mojo
$16m however means this is now dead

[Neon Ignition]

Mufasa: The Lion King - Box Office Mojo
The prequel is holding solidly, taking aloft of Pride Rock this week with $476m

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Box Office Mojo
With $336m this week, the third entry has now sped past the lifetime earnings of the original film

Also slowing, this hit $697m this week so should settle in the early $700m range, twice the cost it took to make this and the sequel combined

Better Man - Box Office Mojo
The highly rated Robbie Williams film is now up to the modest total of $10m

Kraven the Hunter - Box Office Mojo
$59m means just a single million added this week

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Box Office Mojo
$384m this week for the third spin, the film is closing in on becoming the most successful entry

[Neon Ignition]

Mufasa: The Lion King - Box Office Mojo

Nosferatu - Box Office Mojo
$166m this week

Gladiator II - Box Office Mojo
$460m puts the film in its final week or two

Kraven the Hunter - Box Office Mojo
$61m this week means its rising by less than a million per week now
