Sonic The Hedgehog 3 has raced past another 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 earned over $204 million domestically after its fourth weekend, pulling in $11 million across 3,582 locations. Globally, the movie has amassed an impressive $384.8 million.
The latest Sonic installment has surpassed its predecessor, Sonic 2, in the domestic box office race. However, it remains far behind the top-earning video game 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 may prove challenging to surpass, though upcoming releases like the Minecraft movie and the Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel could 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 curious about other successful video game movie adaptations, 2022's Uncharted ranks fourth with $148,648,820 domestically, while the original Sonic movie holds the fifth position with $146,066,470.
