Christmas moviegoers visited the Pride Lands, propelling Disney's "Mufasa: The Lion King” to the top of the box office. The family friendly adventure was the holiday’s highest-grossing release, earning $14.

Though it won't get anywhere near $1 billion, let alone the $1.65 billion of the 2019 "Lion King" remake, "Mufasa" is shrugging off the threat of becoming a box office flop after a poor pre-Xmas start.

The sleepy Christmas Eve frame was led by 'Sonic the Hedgehog 3' with Timothee Chalamet Bob Dylan movie 'A Complete Unknown' grossing $1.4M in previews.
