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.
Boosted by Keanu Reeves' portrayal of Shadow the Hedgehog, the film has surpassed $204 million in domestic revenue after its fourth weekend, adding $11 million from 3,582 theaters. Globally, the film's impressive total stands at $384.8 million.
While Sonic 3 has outpaced its predecessor, Sonic 2, domestically, it remains significantly behind the reigning champion: The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The Mario film's colossal domestic gross of $574,934,330 and global total of $1,359,146,628 set a benchmark that seems unlikely to be broken soon, though upcoming films like the Minecraft movie and the Super Mario Bros. sequel might make a strong attempt.
Despite this considerable gap, the success of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is undeniable. The film is a major win for Paramount, prompting the announcement of Sonic 4.
For context on other successful 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.
