A fresh report has surfaced revealing that the 2024 Sonic the Hedgehog 3 video game adaptation, produced by Paramount, was highly profitable. As per Deadline, the film featuring Jim Carrey portraying two Robotniks and Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic, raked in over $100 million in earnings.
globally, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 grossed approximately $491.9 million at box offices, with Paramount retaining around $225 million of this amount. Additionally, they earned roughly $90 million from home video sales and another $150 million in television and streaming income. In summary, the film is estimated to have generated a total revenue of approximately $465 million.
Regarding the financial breakdown, it’s been calculated that Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s production costs amounted to approximately $122 million, with both Paramount and Sega contributing equally. However, Paramount alone spent over the movie’s total budget of $125 million on marketing and advertising. Additional expenses included $35 million for residuals and distribution fees, $24.4 million for interest and overhead costs, and $35 million in participant payments to the actors.
Deadline calculated the film’s total expenses to be approximately $341.4 million. After subtracting this from the estimated $465 million in total earnings, it appears Sonic the Hedgehog 3 generated a profit of around $123.6 million. Yet, it’s unclear exactly how much Sega might have pocketed from these profits.
Based on projected earnings, it’s anticipated that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will rank as the tenth highest-grossing blockbuster movie of 2024. Deadline will unveil the remaining top ten contenders in due course.
2023 saw The Super Mario Bros. Movie as the highest-grossing blockbuster of the year, across all genres and video game adaptations, generating an impressive $959 million income while only spending $400 million, resulting in a substantial profit of $559 million.
In total, the three Sonic the Hedgehog films have grossed over a billion dollars at the cinema, making it no surprise that Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is scheduled for release in 2027, following the success of the third movie.
In 2025, A Minecraft Movie remains the highest-grossing video game film, raking in over $700 million globally. Coming up next on the list is Until Dawn, a Sony production slated for release on April 25th. Predictions suggest it won’t come close to matching Minecraft’s earnings, potentially earning between $8 million and $10 million during its opening weekend in the U.S.; reportedly, its budget was set at $15 million.
