Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Now Has A Lot Of Pressure On It To Smash Sonic 2’s $405M Box Office

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is following two financially successful movies, but there’s now a lot of weight on the threequel’s shoulders to perform better than Sonic the Hedgehog 2’s box office performance. After a false start with the trailer that featured the ghastly-looking CGI Sonic, which oddly had very human features and didn’t remotely resemble the iconic SEGA mascot, Paramount delivered an entertaining popcorn flick with 2020’s Sonic the Hedgehog. The CGI was corrected, the story and characters were faithful to the source material, and Jim Carrey’s performance as Dr. Robotnik marked a strong comeback.
