Sonic the Hedgehog 3 continues to perform remarkably well at the box office as it approaches the end of its theatrical run. Despite its recent debut on digital platforms, the film secured the #4 spot this past weekend, earning an additional $5.5 million domestically. This brings its total domestic earnings to $226 million, while its international gross remains at $220 million, resulting in an impressive $446 million worldwide.
The movie has also joined 2024’s top 20 highest-grossing international films, landing at #19, just ahead of Bad Boys: Ride or Die but trailing Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
Some of the movie’s most notable achievements include:
- Second-highest-grossing video game adaptation: Only The Super Mario Bros. Movie ($1.3 billion) stands ahead of Sonic 3.
- Top 10 domestic box office hits of 2024: Holding strong at #9 with $226 million, Sonic 3 remains ahead of several major releases. However, Mufasa: The Lion King is closing in, just $5 million behind.
- Franchise milestone: Sonic 3 has outpaced both Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in domestic and international box office earnings.
Paramount has confirmed that Sonic the Hedgehog 4 will debut on March 19, 2027. While the wait might feel long, the extended production time is expected to ensure the film delivers top-tier VFX, particularly given the CGI-heavy nature of Sonic’s world and characters.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is still showing in theaters, giving fans one last chance to experience Sonic’s high-speed adventure on the big screen. Keep it locked to Sonic City for all the latest updates on Sonic’s cinematic journey!
