Sonic The Hedgehog 3 has raced past another box office milestone, now ranking as the second highest-grossing video game movie adaptation in North America. The film, featuring Keanu Reeves as the iconic Shadow the Hedgehog, has amassed over $204 million domestically after its fourth weekend, which alone brought in $11 million from 3,582 theaters. Globally, the movie has reached a stellar $384.8 million.
This latest installment has surpassed its predecessor, Sonic 2, in the domestic box office race. However, it still trails far behind the top-earning video game movie adaptation, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which raked in an astounding $574,934,330 domestically and a whopping $1,359,146,628 worldwide. These figures set a high bar that might remain unmatched, though the upcoming Minecraft movie and the sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie might give it a run for its money.
Despite not reaching the top spot, Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is a confirmed success for Paramount, which has already greenlit Sonic 4. For those curious about other successful video game movie adaptations, 2022's Uncharted comes in fourth with $148,648,820 domestically, followed closely by the original Sonic movie with $146,066,470.
