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 bringing in $11 million in its fourth weekend across 3,582 theaters. Globally, the movie has amassed an impressive $384.8 million.
This latest installment has surpassed its predecessor, Sonic 2, in the domestic box office rankings. However, it remains significantly behind the top-earning video game movie adaptation, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which raked in a staggering $574,934,330 in North America and a jaw-dropping $1,359,146,628 worldwide. These figures set a high bar that may prove challenging for future adaptations to surpass, though upcoming releases like the Minecraft movie and the sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie may come close.
Despite not reaching the top spot, Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is a resounding success for Paramount, which has already greenlit Sonic 4. In the broader context of video game movie adaptations, 2022's Uncharted stands in fourth place with domestic earnings of $148,648,820, while the original Sonic movie secures fifth place with $146,066,470.
