Sonic The Hedgehog 3 has raced past another box office milestone, securing its place as the second highest-grossing video game movie adaptation of all time in North America. With Keanu Reeves joining the cast as Shadow the Hedgehog, the film has now surpassed $204 million domestically after its fourth weekend, bringing in $11 million across 3,582 locations. Globally, the movie's earnings have reached an impressive $384.8 million.
Sonic 3 has outpaced its predecessor, Sonic 2, in the domestic box office, yet it remains far behind the top-earning video game adaptation, The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The Nintendo film set a formidable benchmark with $574,934,330 domestically and a staggering global total of $1,359,146,628. While these records might seem unbeatable, upcoming releases like the Minecraft movie and the Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel could potentially challenge them.
Despite the gap, the team behind Sonic The Hedgehog 3 has every reason to celebrate. The movie is a resounding success for Paramount, which has already greenlit Sonic 4. In the broader context of 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.
