The face-off between furry mammals rages on at the holiday box office, with Paramount’s “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” continuing to lead domestic charts. The videogame-inspired threequel earned another $12.6 million on Friday to boost its North American tally to $112 million.

Mufasa: The Lion King' is tipped to win the five-day Christmas holiday, although 'Sonic the Hedgehog' could top the three-day weekend chart.

It’s a tight race between the still speeding “Sonic 3” and the resurgent “Mufasa” for No. 1, with the hedgehog currently having the edge with an estimated $37.4 million Fri.-Sun. total that is just a 38% drop from its $60 million opening weekend. “Mufasa” is just behind with an estimated $35 million, matching its opening weekend total.
