As the generally slow month in the box office continues, Sonic once again finds itself at the top spot in the Philippines during the week of January 22-26, 2025. This week also saw the openings of Mel Gibson-Mark Wahlberg thriller Flight Risk and Academy Award Best Picture nominee Anora (updated with Flight Risk numbers).

The threequel added est. ₱11.3 million ($195,000) during the tracking week which is off 59 percent from last week. The drop can be likely attributed to fans immediately showing up on opening week. In two weeks, the film has already banked around ₱40 million ($700,000) in the country. Paramount Pictures also confirmed the placing through their Instagram page:

Mufasa: The Lion King continues to add more to its box office pile with no signs yet of winding down. The prequel added ₱6 million ($110,753) this week, which is down 50 percent from last week. In six weeks, it has now collected ₱172 million ($2,944,139) in the country.

Meanwhile, Mel Gibson's thriller Flight Risk opened to est. ₱4.5 million ($76,096) this week. This is a fine start for the film starring Mark Wahlberg which took the #1 spot in the United States weekend box office for a week.
