After recently overtaking Sonic the Hedgehog 2 to become the highest-grossing film of the franchise at the domestic box office, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has continued its dominance and just crossed another elite box office milestone. With $192 million from domestic earnings and $147 million from international markets, Sonic 3 has now grossed over $340 million at the global box office, almost enough to make it one of the top 20 highest-grossing movies of the year. The film needs less than $10 million to take It Ends With Us’ place in the top 20, which it will likely get from its haul this weekend if not early next week. Sonic 3 is also the 12th-highest-grossing movie of the year domestically, holding an $18 million lead over Mufasa: The Lion King.

Due to lower international earnings, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has yet to pass the second film at the global box office, with its $340 million haul still over $60 million short of Sonic 2, but Sonic 3 still has every chance to become the highest-grossing film in the franchise with it only being in theaters for just a few weeks. Sonic 3 has also raced onto a slew of other box office lists, including being the second-highest-grossing video game adaptation ever domestically, but still nearly $300 million short of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the 2023 box office goliath that grossed over $1.3 billion. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is also one of the top 30 highest-grossing movies ever for Paramount Pictures, recently passing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) and poised to overtake Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation soon.
