‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3’ Races Past Two of 2024’s Biggest Hits To Become One of the 15 Highest-Grossing Movies of 2024

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is finally nearing the end of its theatrical run after premiering the weekend before Christmas — more than two months ago — but that hasn’t stopped it from passing a 2024 rival to become one of the highest-grossing movies of the year. Sonic 3 recently passed Gladiator 2 and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice to become one of the top 15 highest-grossing movies of 2024 at the worldwide box office, sitting at $463 million at the time of writing. Sonic 3 has a nearly even split of its earnings coming from domestic and international markets, with the film grossing $233 million in the U.S. and $238 million overseas. It also earned scores of 85% from critics and 95% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes to become the highest-rated film in the franchise.
