Paramount's *Sonic the Hedgehog 3* has ended its domestic theatrical run, closing out with $236.115 million just before it 15th weekend.

**Why it matters:** With its domestic run now complete, *Sonic 3* has solidified its place as the most successful *Sonic* film in the world.

**Between the lines:** *Sonic 3* had a lower opening weekend ($60.10 million) than *Sonic 2* ($72.10 million), but outpaced its predecessor over time.

- The third film's staying power led to a higher domestic and worldwide finish than either of the previous Sonic films.

**By the numbers:** *Sonic the Hedgehog 3* reported its international run at $254.90 million, for a worldwide total of $491.02 million. It marks the highest global gross in the franchise's history.

- *Sonic 3* now holds the second highest domestic total for a video game adaptation, surpassing its 2022 predecessor, *Sonic the Hedgehog 2*.
- International numbers may trickle in the hundreds in the next couple of weeks from smaller markets overseas.

**How it compares:** While the hedgehog's perceived box office competitor, Disney's *Mufasa: The Lion King,* has nearly tripled *Sonic 3* in worldwide earnings, both films had impressive performances in their own rights. 

- *Mufasa* is expected to conclude its domestic run next weekend, having grossed $254.37 million domestically as of this past weekend.
- It leads globally with $465.62 million from international markets, pushing it past $700 million worldwide.

**What's next:** With *Sonic 3* officially out of domestic theatres, this is our final box office report.

- Thanks for following along - see you in 2027 for *Sonic the Hedgehog 4*! 👋
