Sonic the Hedgehog 3's box office triumph continues, securing its position as the second highest-grossing video game movie adaptation in North American history.
Boasting Keanu Reeves 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 earnings reach $384.8 million.
While surpassing its predecessor, Sonic 2, domestically, Sonic 3 still trails significantly behind the reigning champion, The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The Mario film's domestic gross of $574,934,330 and global total of $1,359,146,628 represent a seemingly insurmountable lead in the video game adaptation box office race, though upcoming films like the Minecraft movie and the Super Mario Bros. sequel may pose a challenge.
Despite this, the success of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is undeniable, marking a significant win for Paramount, who have already greenlit Sonic 4.
Other notable video game movie adaptations include Uncharted (2022), fourth place with $148,648,820 domestically, and the original Sonic the Hedgehog, in fifth place at $146,066,470.
