‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3’ Is Already One of the Highest-Grossing Movies of the Year Domestically

After opening last weekend with $60 million to claim the top spot at the domestic box office, more than $20 million ahead of Mufasa: The Lion King, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has kept running to a major box office list. The video game adaptation has netted another $27 million over Christmas week, bringing its domestic total to $87 million and making it one of the top 25 highest-grossing Movies of the year in the U.S. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 had to move past Mean Girls ($72 million) and Longlegs ($72 million) to reach the top 25, and the film is now only $4 million behind The Garfield Movie ($91 million) and $5 million behind The Fall Guy ($92 million), which it will certainly get and then some during its second weekend in theaters.

In addition to being one of the top 25 highest-grossing movies of the year at the domestic box office, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is also one of the top 12 highest-grossing video game movies ever, having just earned enough to slide past Pokemon: The First Movie (1999), but still falling short of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thievesthe 2023 hit starring Chris Pine. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is also on track to race past its reported budget of $122 million this weekend, or shortly thereafter, and once the film rolls out in international theaters, its box office haul will certainly begin to climb even further. Ben Schwartz, Idris Elbaand Colleen O’Shaughnessy all reprise their roles in Sonic 3 along with James Marsden, Tika Sumpterand Jim Carreywith Keanu Reeves making his franchise debut as Shadow the Hedgehog.
