Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Breaks into Top 100 All Time Worldwide Box Office for PG Movies
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is continuing its strong theatrical run, breaking into the top 100 All Time Worldwide Box Office for PG Movies less than a month after its release. The movie has grossed $386 million against a production budget of $122 million and is expected to surpass the $405.4 million of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 to become the highest-grossing installment in the franchise.
The movie has performed well theatrically so far, and with a strong cast and creative team, it looks set to have a strong run yet. It is likely that Sonic 3’s long-term success is pretty well cemented, and with a well-chosen release date and a successful pre-existing franchise, it is expected to rise further up the charts.
Sonic 4 is already in the works, and with the success of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, it is likely that Paramount could fast-track development and attempt to release it sooner than spring 2027, which is currently slated. Any date adjustment will depend on scheduling and how fast a script can come together.
The success of the Sonic films suggests a bright future is ahead, and the development of Sonic 4 is already underway. The movie’s epic scope has helped to improve its success, appeasing fans of the video game series and attracting new fans to the franchise. This will be key to developing successful future installments.
