Sonic The Hedgehog 3 has raced past another significant milestone, now standing as the second highest-grossing video game movie adaptation in North America. The inclusion of Keanu Reeves as Shadow the Hedgehog has helped propel the film to over $204 million in domestic earnings after its fourth weekend, which alone brought in $11 million across 3,582 theaters. Globally, the movie's earnings have reached an impressive $384.8 million.
The latest Sonic installment has outpaced its predecessor, Sonic 2, in the domestic box office, though it remains far behind the top-earning video game adaptation, The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The Mario film amassed a staggering $574,934,330 in North America and a total of $1,359,146,628 worldwide, setting a record that might be unbeatable. However, upcoming projects like the Minecraft movie and the sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie could challenge this benchmark.
Despite not reaching the top spot, Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is a resounding success for Paramount, which has already greenlit Sonic 4. For those curious about other successful video game adaptations, 2022's Uncharted ranks fourth with $148,648,820 domestically, while the original Sonic movie holds the fifth position with $146,066,470.
