Sonic The Hedgehog 3 has raced past another box office 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, which brought in $11 million across 3,582 locations. Globally, the movie has amassed an impressive $384.8 million.
This third installment has surpassed its predecessor, Sonic 2, in the domestic box office race. However, it remains far behind the top-earning video game movie adaptation, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which raked in an astonishing $574,934,330 domestically and a staggering $1,359,146,628 worldwide. These records might be unbeatable, though upcoming releases like the Minecraft movie and the sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie could come close.
Despite not reaching the top spot, Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is a certified success for Paramount, which has already greenlit Sonic 4. For those interested in other successful video game adaptations, 2022's Uncharted ranks fourth with domestic earnings of $148,648,820, while the original Sonic movie holds the fifth position with $146,066,470.
