Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Now the Second Highest-Grossing Video Game Movie of All Time in North America Behind Only… You Guessed It: Super Mario Bros.

Sonic The Hedgehog 3 has raced past another significant milestone, securing its place as the second highest-grossing video game movie adaptation in North America. With Keanu Reeves joining the cast as Shadow the Hedgehog, the film has now surpassed $204 million at the domestic box office following a $11 million haul over the fourth weekend across 3,582 theaters. Globally, the movie has amassed an impressive $384.8 million.

Sonic 3 has outpaced its predecessor, Sonic 2, in the domestic earnings race. However, it remains far behind the top-earning video game movie adaptation, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which raked in a staggering $574,934,330 domestically and a global total of $1,359,146,628. These record-breaking figures set by the Nintendo adaptation might be unbeatable, though upcoming releases like the Minecraft movie and the sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie could come close.

Despite not reaching the top spot, Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is a confirmed hit for Paramount, which has already greenlit Sonic 4. For those curious about other successful video game movie adaptations, 2022's Uncharted ranks fourth with domestic earnings of $148,648,820, while the original Sonic movie sits in fifth with $146,066,470.
