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 locations. 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 staggering $574,934,330 domestically and a global total of $1,359,146,628—figures that may be unmatched for some time, despite upcoming releases like the Minecraft movie and the Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel.
Despite the considerable gap, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is a resounding success for Paramount, prompting the announcement of Sonic 4. Other notable video game movie adaptations include 2022's Uncharted ($148,648,820 domestically) in fourth place, and the original Sonic movie ($146,066,470 domestically) in fifth.
