Sonic the Hedgehog 3, directed by Jeff Fowler and starring Ben Schwartz, Jim Carrey, Keanu Reeves, and others, continues to perform well at the box office. The animated film attracted a large audience on Christmas Day and is scheduled for a long run.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 collects $10.4 million on Christmas
Sonic the Hedgehog 3, co-produced and distributed by Paramount Pictures, opened to $62 million in its opening weekend in North America. It raised an additional $15.69 million over the next two days. In addition, the film added $10.4 million to the Christmas Day box office, bringing the total North American box office gross to $88 million. This animated film will continue to enjoy phenomenal trends till the new year due to the festive spirit and holiday influence.
According to trends, it is expected to reach $100 million quickly and collect $130 million by the end of its second weekend in North America.
Sonic Hedgehog 3 targets $200 million for full run
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has performed better than Mufasa: The Lion King in the domestic market. Looking at the series alone, the trilogy received better scores than Sonic the Hedgehog, the first film in the series. The 2020 film grossed $58 million during its opening weekend. However, the recently released film failed to surpass the earnings of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The 2022 film grossed $72.1 million in its first weekend.
It will be interesting to see how Paramount’s animated film performs in its second and third weeks. If it maintains its strong box office performance in the coming weeks, the film will easily collect more than $200 million in box office revenue across all screenings.
