It's not gonna make Mario money, unless January is really that terrible. But does it mean an end of an era if it beats Mufasa?

It's absolutely going to beat Mufasa. Mufasa is going to be another Alice Through the Looking Glass sequel drop for Disney ($1 billion --> $299 million), though it probably will break-even. The previous movie (sadly) grossed $1.6 billion. All projections point to Sonic beating Mufasa. They can and have been wrong before, but it's doubtful in this instance.

January is generally a lower-grossing month for new releases, it's part of the dump months. The leftovers are typically what do well.

Like look at the past few Januaries in terms of calendar grosses, mainly the December leftovers are what did the best.
