When five Sonic X films were released, they keep get better and better at the box office, even though most of them didn't do some more business when both Sonic X: The Revenge of Sonic ($231 million) and Sonic X: The Shadow Snow ($157 million) didn't outtake Sonic X: Curse of Raven Radix ($241 million) at the domestic box office. But still, there box office successes to anyone and 20th Century Fox.

Sonic X: The Final Stand opened into theaters this weekend, and has already made $125.1 million in its opening weekend. This made it the biggest opening for an animated film ever. It is also the biggest opening for the franchise yet beating its predessor Sonic X: Return to Soleanna ($105 million).

Internationally, it had a stunning opening to $214 million, for a total of $339 million worldwide, making it the biggest opening ever for an animated film and for the franchise, and a better off start than the $94 million overseas opening and $199 million worldwide opening to its predesessor Return to Soleanna. It ended its run with a total of $289 million domestically, $635 million overseas, and $924 million worldwide. How much will this Sonic X film make?

The Shadow Snow is the lowest-grossing film in the film franchise, where Return to Soleanna is the highest, where it finally surprised Curse of Raven Radix after three years of being the most successful film series domestically.

The franchise may be growing up, but there will not be a sequel released, due to conclusing the entire Sonic X storyline of both TV series and film series. However, there will be a spin-off Shadow the Hedgehog: The Movie hitting theaters on August 24, 2012. Two more sequels will be into works making this film the first of a planned trilogy to focus on the life of Shadow the Hedgehog before he first met Sonic the Hedgehog in 50 years.

So far, the films have now made $3.6 billion worldwide.
