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.
The film, featuring Keanu Reeves as Shadow the Hedgehog, has raked in over $204 million domestically after its fourth weekend, adding $11 million from 3,582 theaters. Globally, the film boasts an impressive $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 total 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 might challenge it.
Despite this, the success of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is undeniable, a significant win for Paramount, which has already greenlit Sonic 4.
Other notable video game movie adaptations include 2022's Uncharted, fourth on the domestic list with $148,648,820, and the original Sonic movie, in fifth place at $146,066,470.
