Sonic the Hedgehog 3's box office triumph continues, 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 surpassed $204 million in domestic revenue after its fourth weekend, adding $11 million from 3,582 theaters. Globally, the film boasts an impressive $384.8 million.
While Sonic 3 has outperformed its predecessor, Sonic 2, domestically, it remains 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 seemingly insurmountable lead in the video game movie adaptation category, though upcoming films like the Minecraft movie and the Super Mario Bros. sequel might challenge this record.
Despite this, 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, which holds the fourth spot with $148,648,820 in domestic earnings, and the original Sonic movie in fifth place at $146,066,470.
