Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Now the Second Highest-Grossing Video Game Movie of All Time in North America Behind Only… You Guessed It: Super Mario Bros.

Mar 14,25

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. With Keanu Reeves joining the cast as Shadow the Hedgehog, the film has surpassed $204 million domestically after its fourth weekend, adding $11 million from 3,582 theaters. Globally, the film boasts an impressive $384.8 million.

This success surpasses its predecessor, Sonic 2, in the domestic market, though it remains significantly behind the reigning champion, The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The Mario film achieved a phenomenal $574,934,330 domestically and a staggering $1,359,146,628 globally—figures that may be unmatched for some time, although upcoming films like the Minecraft movie and the Super Mario Bros. sequel could potentially challenge its reign.

Despite the considerable gap, the success of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is undeniable. It's a significant win for Paramount, which has already greenlit Sonic 4.

Other notable video game movie adaptations include 2022's Uncharted, in fourth place with $148,648,820 domestically, and the original Sonic movie, in fifth place with $146,066,470.
