Paramount's Sonic the Hedgehog 3 continued its late-stage box office run, adding $1.31 million to a domestic total of $234 million after nine weeks, while its worldwide haul has reached $478 million.

Why it matters: With Sonic 3's theatrical window closing, Paramount is looking ahead to their next phase of revenue through digital and home entertainment platforms.

By the numbers: Disney's Mufasa: The Lion King remained ahead of Sonic 3 in both domestic and international earnings.

  • Mufasa grossed $6.28 million domestically, bringing its home total to $242 million. Internationally, Mufasa pulled in $5.8 million across 52 markets, pushing its offshore total to $445 million. That's a worldwide total of $686 million.
  • Despite trailing Mufasa overall, Sonic 3 remains strong overseas. The third film added $3 million from 65 offshore markets, bringing its international tally to $243 million.

The intrigue: Both Sonic 3 and Mufasa saw significant theatre count reductions in their home markets this weekend, signaling the final stretch of their runs.

  • Mufasa played in 2,240 domestic locations, that's down by 705; while Sonic 3 was screened in 933 theaters after shedding 1,128 screens.
