Sonic the Hedgehog 3's box office triumph continues, solidifying its position as the second highest-grossing video game movie adaptation in North American history. With Keanu Reeves joining the cast as Shadow the Hedgehog, the film has surpassed $204 million domestically after its fourth weekend, adding $11 million from 3,582 theaters. Globally, its impressive total stands at $384.8 million.
This success surpasses its predecessor, Sonic 2, in the domestic market, though it remains significantly behind the record-holding Super Mario Bros. Movie, which boasts a staggering $574,934,330 domestically and a global total of $1,359,146,628. While these figures may be difficult to surpass for future video game adaptations, upcoming films like the Minecraft movie and the Super Mario Bros. sequel could potentially challenge the top spot.
Despite this, the team behind Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has reason to celebrate. The film is a major success for Paramount, which has already greenlit Sonic 4.
For context, other notable video game movie adaptations include 2022's Uncharted ($148,648,820 domestically) in fourth place and the original Sonic movie ($146,066,470 domestically) in fifth.
