Wicked, Mufasa & Sonic 3’s Box Office Hit Major Global Milestones

by

2024’s releases, such as “Wicked”, “Mufasa: The Lion King”, and “Sonic the Hedgehog 3”, continue to rule the global box office through 2025. These franchise hits have already amassed substantial earnings at the worldwide box office, but they’ve recently surpassed new benchmarks.

Wicked crosses $700 million, should beat Dune: Part Two

Over the past week, Universal Pictures’ Wicked has maintained an impressive streak at global cinemas, with its international earnings reaching approximately $709 million according to Box Office Mojo. If this trend continues, it seems likely that Wicked will surpass Dune: Part Two’s box office revenue soon. Released in March 2024, Dune: Part Two grossed a worldwide total of $714 million, becoming the first film of that year to reach such a substantial earnings figure.

Mufasa: The Lion King closes in on $600 million at worldwide box office

As a dedicated Disney enthusiast, I can’t help but marvel at the ongoing success of their recent releases. Last year’s blockbusters like Inside Out 2 and the pairing of Deadpool and Wolverine set new records, becoming the highest-grossing animated and R-rated films ever made, respectively. More recently, Moana 2 surpassed a significant milestone by earning over $1 billion at the global box office. Although Mufasa: The Lion King hasn’t quite matched the billion-dollar success of its predecessor, it’s quickly approaching a staggering $600 million in global earnings, according to Deadline, with its international collection currently sitting at $592 million.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s box office beats all past Sonic movies

Paramount Pictures continues to reap profits from the winter blockbuster release of 2024, Sonic the Hedgehog 3. As of now, this third installment has grossed an impressive $422 million worldwide, making it the most successful film in the Sonic movie series. Interestingly, the initial film in the franchise, Sonic the Hedgehog (released in 2020), garnered a total of $319 million during its theater run. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 concluded its cinematic journey with slightly more earnings, amounting to $405 million at international box offices.
