As of now, there is no official confirmation or detailed information about a Grinch 3 movie set for release in 2025. The most recent adaptations of Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas include the 2000 live-action film starring Jim Carrey and the 2018 animated version by Illumination Entertainment, both of which were box office successes. However, no credible sources or announcements suggest a third installment is in development or scheduled for 2025.
If a hypothetical Grinch 3 were to exist, it would likely follow the Grinch in a new adventure, possibly exploring his life after his redemption in Whoville. The story could delve into themes of community, forgiveness, or even a new antagonist threatening the harmony of Whoville. The Grinch might team up with Cindy Lou Who and other Whos to save the day, blending humor, heart, and holiday spirit.
For context, the 2000 live-action Grinch had a budget of $123 million and grossed $345 million worldwide, while the 2018 animated version had a budget of $75 million and earned over $512 million globally. If a Grinch 3 were to be produced, its budget would likely fall in the range of $100–150 million, depending on whether it is live-action or animated. Its box office potential would depend on the quality of the story, marketing, and audience reception, but it could aim for a global gross of $400–600 million, given the enduring popularity of the Grinch character.
Until official announcements are made, any details about Grinch 3 remain speculative. Fans of the Grinch will have to wait for updates from Universal Pictures or Illumination Entertainment regarding any future projects involving the beloved green character.
