Sonic 3 Is Targetting USD 225 Million; To Become Biggest Movie Of Sonic Franchise
Sonic 3 is now eyeing USD 225 million by the end of its theatrical run, which would be an excellent business. If the threequel is able to reach the target, it would become the biggest movie of the Sonic franchise.
In that case, the cume collection of Jeff Fowler's directorial would be higher than previous Sonic movies, Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and Sonic The Hedgehog. While the 2022 film grossed USD 190 million in domestic markets, the original movie collected USD 148 million during its release in 2020.
In North America, Sonic 3 is leading the race and would be ahead of its rival release, Mufasa: The Lion King by a slim margin. Meanwhile, Jim Carrey's film would be slightly behind Mufasa at the worldwide box office. This is to note that the budget of Sonic 3 is lesser than Mufasa and hence it is a great result to be so close to the Disney prequel.
