Paramount's *Sonic the Hedgehog 3* has crossed $336 million globally, surpassing the first *Sonic* movie's total ($319 million) in just over two weeks.

**By the numbers:** Despite its strong performance, *Sonic 3* finished second at the U.S. box office this weekend, trailing behind *Mufasa: The Lion King*. 

- *Mufasa* led with $23.8 million, compared to *Sonic 3*'s $21.2 million - a 44% drop from last weekend.
