Sonic the Hedgehog 3's box office triumph continues, solidifying its position 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 domestic earnings, 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 seemingly insurmountable lead in the video game movie adaptation category, though upcoming films like the Minecraft movie and the Super Mario Bros. sequel might pose a challenge.
Despite this, the success of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is undeniable, a significant win for Paramount Pictures, who have already greenlit Sonic 4.
For context on other top-performing video game movie adaptations, 2022's Uncharted holds fourth place with $148,648,820 in domestic earnings, followed by the original Sonic movie in fifth with $146,066,470.
