Sonic The Hedgehog 3 has raced past another milestone, becoming 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, it has amassed an impressive $384.8 million.
The movie 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 in North America and a global total of $1,359,146,628. These figures set a benchmark that may be tough to beat, though upcoming releases like the Minecraft movie and the Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel might come close.
Despite the gap, the team behind Sonic The Hedgehog 3 has every reason to celebrate. The film is a certified hit 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 spot with $146,066,470.
