The Lion King” is looking to keep its box office crown with no big newcomers vying for business in theaters this weekend.

Holiday moviegoing ratcheted down during the first weekend of 2025 with Disney's third weekend of 'Mufasa' leading the weekend box office with $24M.

"Comeback" is the theme of the first weekend of the 2025 box office, as Disney's "Mufasa" has come back from a poor opening weekend to take the No. 1 spot on the charts while Paramount's "Sonic the Hedgehog" series has come back from a seemingly fatal initial trailer five years ago to reach $1 billion in global grosses across three films.
