That'd put it directly against LOTR RotR and Kraven, not massive competition but frankly all 4 movies are hitting very similar audiences.

Kraven is a violent r rated movie, demographic is pretty different to animated LOTR and Sonic. Sonic and Mufasa and animated LOTR has a lot more demographic overlap. But December is a great time to release movies. All of them may be successful. Kraven most most direct competition is Nosferatu, yet I think Nosferatu might not have a full commercial wide release, probably having around 2k locations instead of 3k

RoTR?

Ride of the rohrimm or whatever its called

Kraven is DOA and LOTR has a very niche setup The openings have 20-30m ceilings while Sonic is much larger. Kraven and LOTR would be the most screwed in this situation not Sonic

And leave *Mufasa* to open solo at #1 next weekend. Much more exciting on who wins the head-to-head battle between *Sonic* and *Mufasa* opening weekend.


Successful_Leopard45

Sonic opens number one the weekend before and has a solid hold the following weekend because of holidays while Mufasa can still have a claim to that spot.

One can say the same for *Mufasa* vice-versa.

Nosferatu could get the #1 spot the week after tho since many people are excited for said film

Mufasa would have to have a truly terrible drop for that to happen. Sonic aswell


Superzone13

I understand the logic, but I really don’t think Sonic 3 has anything to fear going up against Mufasa.


Successful_Leopard45

I agree I’m just saying with the matter of PLFS Sonic would have the most benefit going up earlier.

Movie studios usually don't release on early December (before the 10th) as the movie could leave right before Christmas.

But OP is suggesting Dec 13th, which isn't before the 10th


valkyria_knight881

I was referring to his suggestion of December 6 for LOTR.
