@@Dezcheese yep, mufasa's total box office is currently 168 million dollars, while sonic 3's is 186 million dollars mufasa has only made more than sonic this week as it opened worldwide again, and sonic has only opened worldwide one week, but sonic still has gotten more in total
I understand that Grace is not a gamer, but to this day I’m still shocked that she didn’t know how popular Mario was, especially since she’s so heavily involved with entertainment pop culture. He’s the probably one of the most iconic characters oat, even outside of gaming. Like Mickey Mouse/Superman level iconic. Where has she been??? 😂
Just because a character is in a part of pop culture doesn’t mean everyone is going to a) know how popular they are or b) expect it to have such reach. I think Chris Pratt and (maybe) Jack Black propelled more people to see it. I didn’t expect it to do so well cause it looked like a kids movie (to me).

@@yanyannolife326 The problem with that logic is that Tails and Knuckles could have just been in the first movie. Sonic never needed Tom and Maddie or any of the human characters in the first place, that is the issue. It could have just taken place entirely without them.
If Grace thinks Sonic 3 was dark, she should absolutely see the original story this movie was based off of😅😅😅 SA2 and Shadow the Hedgehog were WAY darker in story and tone than this movie😅
The fact Sonic Movie 3 TONED-DOWN guns (Like the "gun" Shadow was shown in the Trailer.) when in the Games (Sonic Adventure 2/Shadow The Hedgehog), the guns were "real-world" GUNS, NOT "family-friendly" LASER Guns (Though, I think 'some' guns in Shadow The Hedgehog were Laser Guns.).😅 It's very unfortunate Grace thought Sonic Movie 3 was kinda extreme in the Tone Department, when the Movies were basically "written in a corner" when it comes to Shadow's Character. Like if you think of Shadow as a similar Character to Batman/Spider-Man, the Tone the character brings isn't that shocking when censorship is involved (And censorship was definitely INVOLVED in this Movie.).
@@brokendreamsbrokenheart5601 the fact that mufasa was killed on screen in the lion king should have been a personal complaint for her as well but she seemed unphased it’s so weird makes me think she is biased to Disney
Sonic 3 is better than Mufasa Garbage and Sonic 3 is getting the shaft overseas because of a slower release and Disney taking up most screens with there Slop
Saying Sonic 3 was a serious movie is WILD to me. My gf and I and the people in my theater kept laughing at how cheesy it was. Still enjoyed it, but it was the most kid friendly one in my opinion
Yeah but it had World ending stakes compared to Sonic 1 and 2 killed Young Maria Robonik and I literally thought they killed off James Marsden at one point
Anything shadow related is serious in tone of the movie. Death of Maria, shadow was consistently manipulated to kill the entire planet out of revenge for her death, nearly murdering James marsden’s character that pushed sonic to want to kill shadow and almost forgot his morals. Gerald robotnik wanting to destroy mankind for Maria’s death and calling them a failed experiment. I will say that is an issue with this movie because while it is very cheesy and humor filled it kinda suffers with what marvel movies do because of it. All of shadow scenes are pretty dark in tone and then they crack a joke that kinda kills the mood and you’re almost not sure to laugh or feel during serious moments at times. So I don’t blame people for not realizing this movie has a lot of dark and serious themes. I felt jim Carrey was the only one who could tailor his comedic timing to whatever the scene asked for which wasn’t the case for others imo.
Not much to talk about anyway. This holiday season is such a complete drought of movies for adults. The first December I can remember that we didn’t go to a movie at all.
@@th-sd6nidude come on. Movie math is goated in this channel. Movie reviews are everywhere but this is the most in depth coverage of the money in Hollywood
Saw Sonic 3 in theatres 3 times opening weekend. Definitely was a fan rush opening weekend and I’m quite positive it would’ve opened around 80 million if audiences weren’t torn between it and Mufasa. However, it does seem very likely that it will have the highest worldwide run out of the trilogy.
i think it silly Grace say it made less money then 2 and then point out it competing against Disney biggest movie hence why it made less. Honestly, it did so well beating the lion king movie prequel when no one expect it to. Lion king made over 1 billion so for it to win 2 weekend in a row is awesome. If lion king wasn't there it; it would make close to 80-90 million for sure. Also there still moana and wicked playing which are huge movie cutting into it money. Sonic 2 didn't have as much against it.
You’re theory of Sonic 3 being more for the diehard fans on why it opened lower doesn’t make any sense. The audience score and cinema score are high and those clearly all aren’t die hards. You answered this question regarding why it opened lower earlier in the video when you said they’re cannibalizing themselves. Mufasa and Sonic share the family audience and families had to pick one.
It is first time for sonic movie to compete directly with a film opening in the same weeks Not to mentioned a family film at that, first film open a week later after harley and the second one open week after morbius
On your Sonic analisys I don't think you took into account they didn't have any IMAX screens this time around, which Sonic 1 and 2 had. Sonic beating Mufasa is more impressive than it looks, since Sonic is making a lot less per ticket.
@@antoniohollandjr4294 out of curiosity do you plan on still watching in theaters if you watch it on digital? I'm wondering how the digital release will affect its Japan Box Office
@@royvarghese5334 Sonic getting anywhere near half of Mario's is still a massive feat. Mario has been growing as a brand for 40 years in an almost constantly upwards trajectory, while Sonic is only recently starting to get back on his feet after a decade or 2 of either mediocre or terrible games with the occasional exception. When you put things into perspective, Sonic is doing a phenomenal job.
I saw Mufasa, great film, great songs, a part of it confused me, but whatever, good film. I saw Sonic 3, and yeah! It was HONESTLY better than Mufasa. Also, Shadow and Maria's relationship isn't weird.
I mean, it is canonically a Christmas movie. Absolutely no spoilers, but there is a Christmas tree in the background of one shot lol That actually really tickled me in the theater
Saw Wicked with my family 2 days ago, last year we saw Wonka and this year I convinced them to see Wicked, they all really liked it even though they never heard of Wicked before😅
The numbers for A Complete Unknown would be fine if the budget was no more than say 25m dollars but at 65m before P&A, it's not making it's money back at the theaters, it's probably betting on streaming, which is not a good bet.
Grace mentioning Trixie and Katya are my favorite aspects of Internet life colliding with one another! An unexpected and awesome surprise! It’s a Christmas miracle! lol
Even Chalamet, someone who has a big following online couldn't get a non-franchise/I.P. driven film to open big much higher than single digits! Grace needs to admit that actors don't sell tickets anymore. You can't have it both ways and make exceptions for things like Nosferatu, it's either yes or no scenario. It's clearly evident that the I.P. and franchise is what drives the box office over a performer!
I would say Wicked really plays that out well the whole balancing hardcore fans and general audiences , super mario also did that very well. I see sonic as a streaming movie to be honest
I share Grace's enthusiasm for "Nosferatu." It's up there with Kubrick's "The Shining" as one of the most artistic, beautifully photographed horror films ever made. Robert Eggers is mad talented. There's a rumor that he's going to remake "Labyrinth."
Heard the Labyrinth rumor too, and I’m hoping that’s not his next project. Eggers is talented, but nothing about his style says whimsical, music, and puppets. It’s not a fit with Henson. And while Labyrinth has a few dark elements, there is nothing about it that is horror.
It makes sense Sonic 3 didn’t open as big as Sonic 2 because historically movies don’t open that big near Christmas time but they have way longer legs!
I bought tickets to Nosferatu for 11:30 Dolby thinking it was for the morning. It was for PM🤣 I’m glad more people thought the same and we all left the theater together lol
Well one thing to take account yere grace is mufasa took majority of the screens and also premium screens which yes are worth more. The fact tbay somic was able to do this despite having less screens and no preium screens is great.
Love how Zendaya's numbers for Challengers were called bad but looking back, she did pretty amazing compared to Timmy C (ACU) and Austin Butlers (Bikeriders) movies.
@@audaciousjonesit may’ve recouped in digital but yes. Unfortunate because I thought it was a solid flick and fairly well made. It at least deserved to break even 😅
That'a the thing, they were never bad! For a movie that was sold so heavily on her appeal alone, a $15M opening was fantastic. In terms of actually weekend to weekend performance, it had a really strong showing, even if the budget was too big.
We'll see where things end, but on its first 5 days, A Complete Unknown already made almost half of what Challengers made domestically (50M) so I wouldn't go out celebrating yet.
My dad is a football fan and he tuned into Netflix. He is enjoying football being on streaming since my parents haven’t had cable forever. He noticed the Squid Game section and asked my younger sister about it.
Multiverse of madness did not cross a billion because it did not get a Chinese release. If it would’ve released in China it would’ve cruised over that billion mark.
I think it should have. I saw it this weekend, it was bad. If I was Disney I would still hire but strictly watch Lin Manuel Miranda… none of the songs it’s any good, and the only memorable one it was one of the worst villain song in Disney history.
WHAT A CHRISTMAS WEEKEND THIS HAS BEEN! The movie that made my weekend and soon to reach the new year was Sonic 3!!! LOVED SONIC 3!!! Can't wait to see this movie too many and will never stop seeing it. By far, my favourite instalment in the Sonic Cinematic Universe!!!
@16:13 Why would they release Wicked on digital only 40 days after it opened in theaters? That doesn't seem to make much sense. Im glad to be able to watch it at home but seems strange from a business perspective
I think Grace mentioned in the past that as a movie lingers in theaters, the studios take less money from each ticket and the theaters get more. That way, theaters are incentivized to keep movies playing rather than jumping all theaters to the next big thing. So Universal might be thinking that they want to get it to digital before the hype dies down and so that they get more of the money.
There is no fight. Disney just can’t handle people liking a movie they didn’t release more than one they did. All the offense to the so called fight has been from Disney. Sega and Paramount are doing the best thing they can right now. Which is ignoring Disney and focusing on their upcoming projects (like Sonic 4)
It would be a weird fit. Eggers has never done anything whimsical, musical, or puppetry before. He’s very talented but his darker, horror style doesn’t really fit with Henson’s Labyrinth.
Great to have ya back Grace! I bought tickets for nosferatu xmas day, but my family wouldn’t let me go 😂 Saw it the next day, it was delightful! A Complete Unknown tonight, glad the movie business is doing well, Happy new year!
Grace, Sonic 3 was amazing I can’t wait for Sonic 4. Grace, Shadow’s story is heartbreaking, but that is his story. Possibly similar to Batman a bit. Grace, I hope you had wonderful Christmas with your family and I look forward to your Sonic 3 review. Have a Happy New Year’s. My daughter and I are seeing Sonic 3 again this Tuesday. 😊
One of the smaller AMCs in Nashville just renovated one of the theaters into a smaller Dolby theater. Looking forward to checking that out and it shows they know they need to focus on premium.

The tv show had Anne Rice involvement before she passed away. She was heavily involved in the writing and the casting.
Why does grace hate the Superman trailer so much 😂
Because she has a feud against James Gunn
Because the main character wear underwear outside his pants
Great to have you back grace
My dad is a football fan and he tuned into Netflix. He is enjoying football being on streaming since my parents haven’t had cable forever. He noticed the Squid Game section and asked my younger sister about it.
Happy New Year Grace! 🎉
Multiverse of madness did not cross a billion because it did not get a Chinese release. If it would’ve released in China it would’ve cruised over that billion mark.
SHES BACK!!!! So glad you’re back Grace. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family ❤
Moana 2 is not that good. It doesn't deserve to be 1 billion
I enjoyed Moana 2 and I think it will reach a billion. Better than Sonic
@@Kyle_Leinen absolutely not
Who are you to choose a movie can not be billion movie. The trash despicable 4 is nearly billion movie, you should cry about it
Top notch quality as always ! Great coverage !
Feliz Natal Grace!
As far as Wicked goes. Yes, first act is definitely stronger. However, there is more than ONE bop in the second act.
Missed your videos grace! Glad you’re back
Why didn’t Mufasa have its own section?
We didn't even get a Mufasa review 😭
I think it should have. I saw it this weekend, it was bad. If I was Disney I would still hire but strictly watch Lin Manuel Miranda… none of the songs it’s any good, and the only memorable one it was one of the worst villain song in Disney history.
Disney don’t care about the fans no more
@@AlvaroIbacacheS I saw Mufasa and loved it. The music was amazing. Not sure what more you were expecting out of it.
Been having a real rough day but your energy really helped a lot. 26 minutes of good vibes, I truly appreciate it
Welcome back from vacation, Grace!!!! So glad to have movie math back this week!
WHAT A CHRISTMAS WEEKEND THIS HAS BEEN! The movie that made my weekend and soon to reach the new year was Sonic 3!!! LOVED SONIC 3!!! Can't wait to see this movie too many and will never stop seeing it. By far, my favourite instalment in the Sonic Cinematic Universe!!!
Eggers should direct a Mummy reboot next. If he can bring back Frasier and Wiez, he could actually make a Dark Universe happen
@16:13 Why would they release Wicked on digital only 40 days after it opened in theaters? That doesn't seem to make much sense. Im glad to be able to watch it at home but seems strange from a business perspective
I think Grace mentioned in the past that as a movie lingers in theaters, the studios take less money from each ticket and the theaters get more. That way, theaters are incentivized to keep movies playing rather than jumping all theaters to the next big thing. So Universal might be thinking that they want to get it to digital before the hype dies down and so that they get more of the money.
@TheMusicalLawyer Oh ok thats a fair point
@ I’m just speculating too, so who knows! But I will admit I’m very excited to watch the extra content!!! :D
Ok but can we just agree the whole Sonic vs Mufasa fight is ridiculous?
Like, so childish at points
Absolutely.
There is no fight. Disney just can’t handle people liking a movie they didn’t release more than one they did. All the offense to the so called fight has been from Disney. Sega and Paramount are doing the best thing they can right now. Which is ignoring Disney and focusing on their upcoming projects (like Sonic 4)
the city behind you looks so beautiful in this vid 😭
Maybe not enough premium screens for Sonic
Normally Philippines get movies like Sonic early but we havent got it yet! Because of a film festival, we need to wait till Jan 15!
I saw on Film Twitter that Eggers wants to do a Labyrinth remake with the Jim Henson Company
It would be a weird fit. Eggers has never done anything whimsical, musical, or puppetry before. He’s very talented but his darker, horror style doesn’t really fit with Henson’s Labyrinth.
@collettewilson1319 I disagree
Nice sweater Grace
Shout out to Aldis Hodge and the success of Cross! Sad its being ignored by a lot of outlets
I agree. It's a fantastic show. I'm excited for season 2.
Eggers needs a Scarecrow (Batman villain) movie, his visuals mixed with the most horrific Batman villain could be huge.
Great to have ya back Grace! I bought tickets for nosferatu xmas day, but my family wouldn’t let me go 😂 Saw it the next day, it was delightful! A Complete Unknown tonight, glad the movie business is doing well, Happy new year!
We're so back! Thanks queen! Love your sweater.
Happy Holidays Grace ❤️
Truly the best part of my Sundays!
People whine about movie prices but still go because the cinema experience is much better than garbage streaming.
gArBaGe? Just saying you don't have laptop, computer and tv
I don't like folk music, and I don't like Bob Dylan. My friend convinced me to see it ...that was a really good movie!!!...Timothy did a great job!!!
Grace, Sonic 3 was amazing I can’t wait for Sonic 4. Grace, Shadow’s story is heartbreaking, but that is his story. Possibly similar to Batman a bit. Grace, I hope you had wonderful Christmas with your family and I look forward to your Sonic 3 review. Have a Happy New Year’s. My daughter and I are seeing Sonic 3 again this Tuesday. 😊
MERRY CHRISTMAS GRACE!! I love you!! You are the best!!
Merry Christmas to you too!
🤗Fan girling! Thank you for wishing me Merry Christmas. You are the best!!
Very interested to see Grace starting to cover Wrestling starting with next week now that WWE is gonna be on Netflix!!!!
The last Star Wars movie was released in 2017. Who believes that we are supposed to get a Star Wars movie every 2 years at this point? 😂
2019, not 2017.
One of the smaller AMCs in Nashville just renovated one of the theaters into a smaller Dolby theater. Looking forward to checking that out and it shows they know they need to focus on premium.
Hi Grace. International audience here. We watched the game ONLY for Beyonce and Mariah. My family eas divided between Malaysia and Brazil, but we were all waiting for the Queen B to set that stadium on fire, and she did. I've never been this happy about my netflix subscription 😌❤ Happy New Year!✨️❤️
I'm in Houston where that game was taking place and I only tuned in for Beyonce too 🥂
3 million people tuned in for her.
