The animated movie fetched a box office win while ‘Companion’ separated itself from the rest of the pack.
Mel Gibson’s latest film led a quiet weekend at the box office.
Disney’s ‘Mufasa’ has yet to even match its predecessor’s opening weekend while ‘Sonic 3’ speeds to franchise records.
With no major new releases to open the year, Disney’s ‘Lion King’ prequel barely squeaks past Sonic and his buddies.

The ‘Sonic’ franchise continues to be box office gold while Disney’s remake strategy begins to show weakness.
The MCU pillar returns for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ while the animated classic will get a live-action remake. PLUS: ‘Hot Ones’ finds a buyer, ‘Severance’ and ‘28 Years Later’ get trailers, and who’s playing Jabba’s son?
The animated sequel earned a record-breaking $221M over the five-day span, while ‘Wicked’ and ‘Gladiator II’ add to their holiday hauls.
I wanted to love the ‘Moana’ sequel, but it’s missing the heart of its predecessor — and the seams from its past life as a TV series are way too obvious.

Disney rolled out a bunch of new titles and trailers at its studio expo on Friday night.
