Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has emerged as a blockbuster hit, becoming the second-highest grossing video game film with a global total of $462 million. This surpasses Detective Pikachu's previous record of $450 million, and each film in the Sonic series has shown a unique trend of increasing box office returns, which is rare. The film had a budget of $122 million, achieving over 3.8 times its cost. Following its success, Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is already in the pipeline for a 2027 release, but the all-time record-holder remains The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has become the second-highest grossing video game film of all time, with a worldwide gross of $462,581,646.
The film's success means it beat its predecessors, Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2, grossing 3.8 times its production budget of $122 million.
The franchise's growth in box office performance is uncommon, with Sonic 3 surpassing Sonic 2 and demonstrating that sequels can be increasingly successful.
Despite its success, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 did not surpass The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which remains the top-grossing video game adaptation.
