Sonic the Hedgehog 3's box office triumph continues, securing its position as the second highest-grossing video game movie adaptation in North American history.
With Keanu Reeves joining the cast as Shadow the Hedgehog, the film has surpassed $204 million in domestic earnings 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 North America, Sonic 3 still trails significantly behind the record-holding 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 could potentially challenge this dominance.
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 ($148,648,820 domestically), and the original Sonic the Hedgehog ($146,066,470 domestically), placing fourth and fifth respectively.
