Sonic The Hedgehog 3 has raced past another milestone, becoming the second highest-grossing video game movie adaptation of all time in North America. The film, featuring Keanu Reeves as Shadow the Hedgehog, has now earned over $204 million domestically after its fourth weekend brought in $11 million across 3,582 locations. Its global box office stands at an impressive $384.8 million.
Sonic 3 has surpassed its predecessor, Sonic 2, in the domestic box office race. However, it remains significantly behind the top-earning video game movie adaptation, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which raked in $574,934,330 domestically and a staggering $1,359,146,628 worldwide. These figures set a high bar that may prove challenging for future video game adaptations to surpass, though the upcoming Minecraft movie and the Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel might come close.
Despite not reaching the top spot, Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is a resounding success for Paramount, which has already greenlit Sonic 4. For those interested in other successful video game movie adaptations, 2022's Uncharted ranks fourth with $148,648,820 domestically, while the original Sonic movie comes in fifth with $146,066,470.
