Sonic the Hedgehog 3 races past another box office milestone, securing its place as the second highest-grossing video game movie adaptation in North American history.
Boasting Keanu Reeves as Shadow the Hedgehog, the film has raked in over $204 million domestically after its fourth weekend, adding $11 million from 3,582 theaters. Globally, the film's impressive total stands at $384.8 million.
While surpassing its predecessor, Sonic 2, in the domestic market, 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 box office of $1,359,146,628 represent a potentially insurmountable record for video game adaptations, though upcoming films like the Minecraft movie and the Super Mario Bros. sequel could potentially challenge it.
Despite the considerable gap, the success of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is undeniable, a significant win for Paramount Pictures, which has already greenlit Sonic 4.
Other notable video game movie adaptations include 2022's Uncharted, in fourth place with $148,648,820 domestically, and the original Sonic the Hedgehog, in fifth with $146,066,470.
