Sonic 3 Soars to Second Place in NA Box Office

Sonic the Hedgehog 3's box office triumph continues, securing its place as the second highest-grossing video game movie adaptation in North American history.

Boasting Keanu Reeves as 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 outperformed its predecessor, Sonic 2, domestically, it still trails significantly behind the reigning champion: The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The Mario film's staggering domestic gross of $574,934,330 and global total of $1,359,146,628 represent a likely unbeatable record for video game adaptations, though upcoming films like the Minecraft movie and the Super Mario Bros. sequel might challenge it.

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, fourth on the domestic list with $148,648,820, and the original Sonic movie, fifth at $146,066,470.
