Paramount Pictures has announced that its Sonic the Hedgehog movie series has now surpassed a total of $1 billion at the global box office.
The third film in the franchise, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, recently hit cinemas, where it's enjoyed a successful run and positive reviews.
Paramount made the announcement of the milestone on its socials:
It's an impressive achievement; all three movies have been very popular, appealing to kids as well as nostalgic SEGA adults.
News of a fourth film being greenlit recently makes complete sense, then, with work underway and targeting a release in 2027.
Additionally, Jim Carrey has said that he's open to the idea of reprising his role as Dr. Robotnik in future flicks.
Ben Schwartz, who provides the voice for Sonic in the films, has reacted to the news, teasing there's "so much more to go":

Just imagine if they never changed that goddawful design 😂😂😂
Very happy its been such a success and i feel its had an effect on the games as well as the last few entries especially Shadow Generations have been either good or great.
Damn, hope they start making video games based on the franchise too!

Didn't the Mario film clear that with one realease?
I really try to get warm with the games but they are so incredibly boring for my own taste. Just speed running through.
I am happy at least I love the movies, hope they deliver with the next one as well.
@JB_Whiting To be fair, Mario Movie is a Mario/Nintendo movie made by Illumination. That was almost guaranteed to make over a billion.
That’s a big surprise it’s not supposed to work that way. The actual (Frontiers) game sure didn’t feel like a billion dollars, menus and general presentation were out of whack and the music was like bad 90s vibe like a relic from an era best forgotten hoping to find its feet again. Like some middle aged raver in a sleeping bag having gobbled too many disco biscuits just as sonic does rings
Hopefully the movies are better then that Frontiers game.
i guess sonic should just be a movie franchise now since they can never get the games right.
@tatsumi you just played the bad ones . that’s pretty much what sonic games have devolved into and have been stuck with the same “boosting down straight line” style for over a decade
