The Sonic 4 teaser’s views on tiktok has surpassed Sonic 3’s official trailer views, does this mean that Sonic 4 can surpass Sonic 3 at the box office if it maintains the hype?

I think it earns about the same as the third movie, but is more frontloaded due to opening in March instead of December. About $85M-$90M opening weekend

I feel like there’s just a clear ceiling on these movies. I don’t see a chance it ever breaks out. Maybe if they totally ditch humans (aside from Egghead) and play out a whole movie in his home world with the other characters. Filming in “real life” probably keeps the budget down but it also might keep it from breaking out from its usual WW

No it will do less, these movies have a ceiling

I think it will probably wind up at a similar total, maybe higher opening weekend. The films seems to have a ceiling to how much they can gross, no matter how many characters and star actors they’ve thrown in with each sequel

The third one had positive reviews, a holiday release, a popular character (Shadow), and the stunt casting of Keanu Reeves and still couldn’t top 500 million. There is a clear ceiling to these films.

Probably a similar total to Sonic 3 while opening much higher because it won’t have the luxury December legs.
Godzilla x Kong: Supernova opening a week later will also provide some stiff competition as it will surely take all PLFs.

Any guess on what the budget might be? The first film had a budget of $85 million, the second film had a budget of $90 million, and the third film had a budget of $122 million.

$85m opening, $220-225m domestic total, $240-250m overseas total would be my prediction
No Christmas boost and competition from Godzilla & Kong will prevent it from surpassing Sonic 3. But hype and goodwill created by 3 will make sure that it surpasses 2’s grosses

A *John Wick 4* to *John Wick 3* rise, maybe.

It’s the fourth movie in this series, and yes while these films have increased in quality with each subsequent release, I feel like it’s hard for these films to really break out of their fanbase and into the mainstream, especially as each subsequent film aims to reward the fantasy with references, characters and storylines from the games, rather than be their own original thing.
Sonic 1 was pretty much a generic (although original for the Sonic universe) buddy road-trip family movie that would have gotten a large audience because CGI animal + novelty factor, if it wasn’t for COVID.
If Sonic 4 relies heavily on the games for its’ characters/storylines/setting, then I don’t really see it breaking out of its’ fanbase and through the ceiling besides the fact that they’re the only movies Jim Carrey acts in anymore. Could be wrong though, we’ll never know.
