The Sonic the Hedgehog movie franchise has grossed over $1 billion at the global box office. The latest installment, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, has earned $336.5 million worldwide since its release on December 20, 2024. This brings the total earnings for the series to $1.06 billion, surpassing the $405 million and $320 million earned by Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and its 2020 predecessor, respectively.
This success places Sonic the Hedgehog among the most profitable video game movie adaptations in Hollywood history, alongside films like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Pokemon, and Resident Evil. Paramount Pictures is already developing a fourth film, aiming for a Spring 2027 release. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 follows the titular hero (voiced by Ben Schwartz), Tails (Colleen O'Shaughnessey), and his human partner Tom Wachowski (James Marsden) as they try to prevent Shadow the Hedgehog (Keanu Reeves) from destroying the world. The film also stars Krysten Ritter and Idris Elba and welcomes back Jim Carrey's villainous Dr. Ivo Robotnik. Even after previously vowing retirement from Hollywood, Jim Carrey returned to the franchise, stating he needed the money. Director Jeff Fowler always believed Carrey would return for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 due to the movie's 'fun concept'
