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 in domestic revenue after its fourth weekend, adding $11 million from 3,582 theaters. Globally, the film's impressive box office total stands at $384.8 million.
While Sonic 3 has outpaced its predecessor, Sonic 2, domestically, it remains significantly behind the reigning champion: The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The Mario film's staggering domestic gross of $574,934,330 and global total of $1,359,146,628 represent a seemingly insurmountable lead in the video game adaptation category, though upcoming films like the Minecraft movie and the Super Mario Bros. sequel could potentially challenge this record.
Despite this, the success of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is undeniable, a significant win for Paramount Pictures, who have already greenlit Sonic 4.
Other notable video game movie adaptations include 2022's Uncharted, which holds fourth place with $148,648,820 in domestic earnings, and the original Sonic movie in fifth place at $146,066,470.
