Spoiler warning for Sonic the Hedgehog 3's post-credits scenes The film's success doesn't appear to have come as a surprise to Paramount because the studio greenlit a fourth entry

In a press release, SEGA announced that the Sonic the Hedgehog film series has now hit the $1 billion milestone in global revenue. The announcement was made by SEGA President and COO, Representative Director Shuji Utsumi, that the Sonic the Hedgehog film series has now grossed over $1 billion ( (¥157B) in the global box office.

As it's early January, we are still largely in holdover mode. But that shouldn't discount the performance of those movies that released at the end of last year and are still doing solid business. Among them are Disney's Mufasa: The Lion King and Paramount's Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is racing onto digital this week, with a physical home media release slated for Sonic and the gang later this year.
