Idris Elba, Colleen O'Shaughnessey, and Ben Schwartz voicing Knuckles, Tails, and Sonic in 'Sonic the Hedgehog 3'
Having debuted alongside Mufasa: The Lion King in a hotly-anticipated box office clash, Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has been out-performing the big-budget Disney movie consistently, especially at the domestic box office. But this weekend, it dropped to number two as Mufasa staged a comeback and claimed the number one spot on the charts.
With nearly $190 million domestically and almost $150 million from overseas markets, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has now grossed $336 million worldwide. The movie has overtaken the first Sonic the Hedgehog on all fronts. Released in early 2020, just a few weeks before the pandemic brought the world to a stop, the first Sonic the Hedgehog concluded its run with $146 million domestically and $302 million worldwide.
All three films in the franchise have been directed by Jeff Fowler, with Ben Schwartz voicing the titular character, James Marsden playing the live-action lead, and Jim Carrey starring as the antagonist. In Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Carrey plays a dual role as Dr. Ivo Robotnik and as Dr. Gerald Robtnik. Once among the biggest movie stars in the world, Carrey is mostly semi-retired at this stage in his career, and his only theatrical releases since 2016 have been the three Sonic movies.
The Franchise Has Branched Out Into Streaming with 'Knuckles' Close Impressively, all three movies have also been rather well-received. The first Sonic the Hedgehog holds a “fresh” 64% approval rating on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, while the second movie has a 69% rating, and the third movie has a series-best score of 86% and an incredible audience score of 96%. In his review, Collider’s Aidan Kelley praised the film’s action sequences, and Carrey’s villainous performance.
