Mad respect for the people that worked on sonic, they went ahead and listen to the fans and went as far to change sonics looks after the backlash, I’m glad they getting success
One of the reasons why people go for Sonic more is that this character has proven himself better in movies and games and in the media in principle. Bigger popularity. But with the previous 2 films about Sonic, although they were not masterpieces, everyone could find something of their own from teenager to adults. Disney desperately remake National Geographic in the setting of the Lion King. It was painful to watch the life-action version of the legendary cartoon. And the film about Mufasa is generally the stupidest idea they could come up with. Well deserved for Sonic.
Something else to consider is Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is the highest rated video game movie on Rotten Tomatoes with an astounding 86%. That’s a big freaking deal.
It's kind of crazy that Paramount can produce a CGI heavy movie like Sonic every 2 years while Sony has barely started on Spider-man 4 and Lucasfilm hasn't released a single movie in 5 years.
@@BaithNayou’re not wrong. The first Sonic came out in February of 2020, while the earliest screening of Sonic 2 was in Europe, which was March of 2022. Japan didn’t get Sonic 2 until August of 2022.
Good, it always baffled me how Disney's terrible "live action" cash-grabs make so much money. In fact, I'm purchasing me and my fiance another ticket for Sonic 3 and we're going to see it AGAIN next weekend.
Exactly! Enough is enough. Instead of making new animated movies with our favorite Disney characters, (like they SHOULD be doing) they instead keep trodding out this monochromatic, un-inspiring, CGI infested nonsense instead. They should have never stopped making the animated movies, because all of those classics are all MILLIONS of times better than the realistic soul-less dreck they are forced feeding us now.
Brother they legit played a trailer for live action Lilo and Stitch before the Sonic movie started 💀 They should leave their animated classics alone man.
Yeah mine too even though I'm pretty sure that's not even coming out until the summer next year. And their next movie is Cap 4 so one would think that should be the priority.
Just got out of the movie theater and now I see this video.This has been a good day. To any sonic fans out there I recommend you see this movie. Especially the post credits scene !
Already seen it twice over the weekend, hoping to see it again soon. I would never get tired of watching Sonic 3, definitely the best out of the trilogy
it's been time to knock Disney off their monopoly high horse grip they had over box office for years but never a million years i thought that sonic the hedgehog and super mario would be the ones to do it and the sad part is that Disney used to work with sega at the time of the genesis to make good games
@@ungenbunyon5548 Because the fanbase is doing this stupid competition between Sonic 3 and Mufasa all because fans doesn’t want Mufasa to make more money than Sonic 3 which I don’t really know why does he even matter overall they’re both good movies and etc. I just don’t know anymore🤦. All of this is just childish and ridiculously stupid

Imagine if they didn’t listened to the fan, they would had never being a trilogy just another flop, but look at it now they beat Disney at the box office having a good trilogy.
Glad Sonic Movie 3 doing well in the USA but hope Paramount does well in other states too. Kinda worried since Movie 3 is still not out on all states while I think Mufusa has released in other states n heard it’s #1 in China. Hope once Movie 3 comes out for every state, it would reclaim the #1 spot and do well so Paramount continues to cook for Movie 4 n other projects on the way
"I think Sonic 3 for sure will have repeat viewings" Can confirm. It's the only movie I've ever seen that made me go back and purchase tickets to see it a 2nd time in theaters. That last 30 minutes just hooked me too much.
Disney needs to "Live and Learn" I feel like most children (Main Targets) prefer to watch Sonic over any Disney nowadays. People who still care about Disney are adults
It was no surprise and no contest. Its crazy how sonic damn near ended up being that same soulless looking cash grab based on his first appearance they were going to give him in that 1st movie. Now everyone loves the franchise.
Disney needs to stop with the live action junk. Its not and never gas been their bread and butter. 80% of their live action movies based on previously animated projects fails every single time. They are very boneheaded from marvel, starwars and their live action remakes. Its been trash and I hope they lose money until they stop their agendas..
The resident evil movies didn't go straight to video after the second one. I saw afterlife, retribution, the final chapter and welcome to raccoon city in theaters.
I wanted to see Sonic 3 in the premium theater in my local theater had Mufasa in instead so i had to see Sonic in the regular theater. Serves them right
Both studios knew what they was doing already tho when the released the movies on the same day both of them had the opportunity to change the date months prior and didn’t
As an Italian who saw the Mufasa movie, I have to say that in Italy the Mufasa movie is making money, and is one of the most viewed movies. Nothing to take away from Sonic, but with Jim Carrey removed the saga loses a bit of depth
No, I think Disney is tired of your fans being so cruel to them so they basically gonna do anything in their path to make your fans miserable and I don’t blame them for that, because you fans been insufferable lately
If the mufasa movie would've been done old school animation like the og lion king it may have been a very different story. It's not a stretch to say ppl in general do NOT care for the live action Disney movies. Some are decent but they dont good a candle to the originals. While this one is indeed an original story, one even I've always wanted to see done, but the fact it's being done live action immediately turns off a lot of the would be fans/movie goers
These Sonic movies are must watch opening weekend movies every single time. The Disney slop can wait till it’s on Disney+ And yes I’ll rewatch the Sonic movies on Paramount+
62 million might not even be the final number that's just estimates but either way that's a very good result considering what it was up against. I'm happy Disney's other movies are doing well this year but this one really needed to fail or at least crack the armor. We don't have worldwide numbers yet but I'm hoping the results the same. If not it's at least a solid blow and Disney will have to listen to that. Lazy and effortless movies like Mufasa should not be rewarded especially if people want orignal movies out of Disney. The crew behind the Sonic movies should be a shinning example of how to approach making movies. They did'nt grow complacent after the first movie, they kept pushing themselves and strove to do even better with each movie. Their not perfect but they understand that and they don't need to be they only need to try and do the best job they can
So i just watched both movies and thought they were good. I think Sonic 3 won because it was the 3rd movie in an established series whereas Mufasa is a prequel but also an original story. Most of the characters are new. I understand your feelings about the live action movies and agree for the most part, but Mufasa was genuinely good and not just a remake. I think Disney shouldve done this and never remade the original Lion King even though the numbers say otherwise. My only other criticism is that the music just doesnt work like in classic animation so i wouldve taken that out and focused more on character development as it was rushed towards the end but it wasn't bad. I probably enjoyed it more than Lion King, Mulan, and Aladdin but not as much as Beauty and the beast. Sonic was 🔥🔥🔥 though especially the fights. Can see myself rewatching and cant wait for part 4.
If Disney wants to do something right for a change. How about they stop using this realistic CGI crap and go back to using actual animation for their movies instead? And start making more sequels to animated classics and favorites. (Like for example, Aladdin. My number one favorite Disney movie of all time.) I've been wanting to see another Aladdin movie for years now. (The 2019 live-action version doesn't count, because it was an absolute atrocity. I don't even consider that heaping pile of garbage as being canon to the actual Aladdin universe) My point being, it would be the coolest thing to see more new stories with our favorite Disney characters, in their ANIMATED forms and likenesses that we know and love! But no, Disney has to go the soul-less, cheap n' easy route. Instead of creating more genuine captivating, films. They never be giving us what we really want. And that sucks! I can only hope this Mufasa situation will be somewhat of a wake-up call for them to change things up. But knowing Disney, I honestly doubt it.
I don’t know why don’t like the 2019 lion king I actually enjoyed it what it is it’s not perfect but it’s still pretty good but everybody has a right to criticize a movie
Disney:face it you will never get my power
Sega: does it look like i need your power
Shadow to mufasa: your no king uses chaos spear
Disney: The more you talk, the harder I might hit you.
Sega: GET OU-
Disney was so stupid as they had no chance of beating out a speedy blue hedgehog franchise
While your fans were stupid to make Sonic 3 and Mufasa a competition which was more childish and I ever seen from this fan base
@@TristanBonsiWell, they still shouldn't have released it on the same day as Sonic 3, we all knew they would get trampled.

Truth be told I'd be interested in Mufasa if it's about building the connect with scar and showing what pridelands were like b4 muf took over
Sonic showed no mercy to Mufusa in the box office.
Did what Scar did to Mufasa
I'm not even surprised
Something else to consider is Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is the highest rated video game movie on Rotten Tomatoes with an astounding 86%. That’s a big freaking deal.

May Disney live & learn from the wake up call on just how badly Sonic beat Mufasa at the Box office at opening weekend
Sonic had the best DBZ fight in a live movie. That i know of. Matrix is pretty good.
2020s have been damn good to Sonic fans.
Super Mario was pretty good too. Can't wait for the next one!

Good.Disney can revamp and learn that we don’t want these depressing remakes of animated movies.
Well it should start the process, what will kill it is Snow White and Lilo and Stitch doing bad along with this.

I looked up that Sonic will have over 27 regions to release, with Mufasa only having 7. The 25th is when Sonic starts to reclaim the box office crown.
Yeah, #1 in China and not in its home country of America. Let that sink in.

All the resident evil movies went to theaters and im fairly sure they were all financially successful critically is debatable
Yea i don't know why he's said that. I went to most of them.
I don't think they were limited release either.
Tho I just googled and do have to say both sonic movies outgrossed them all individually so that's neat

Wha... the Resident Evil movies never went straight to DVD they went to theaters first and all of them actually made money.
If they were gonna do a prequel to the lion King, why not just make an animated version just like The Lion King 1, 1 1/2, and 2!?

Domestically Sonic 3 is dominating over Mufasa, but unfortunately internationally…
It probably would've done much better if it was just 2D animated lol. Id go see it 😂 I want a 2D lion king 3 following up Kiaras story.

5:00 What are you talking about????? All of them were in cinemas.

this probably won't be enough to change their course with these cashgrab live action remakes, it has to happen several times.
The Resident Evil movies were still in theaters after the second movie. lol Not as good, but still in theaters.
Who asked for this prequel? 😂

It's not live action it's animated those are not real lions talking LOL
