Sonic The Hedgehog 3 has blazed past another impressive milestone, securing its position as the second highest-grossing video game movie adaptation in North America. With Keanu Reeves lending his voice to the iconic character Shadow the Hedgehog, the film has now amassed over $204 million domestically following a $11 million haul during its fourth weekend across 3,582 locations. Globally, the movie's earnings have reached an astounding $384.8 million.
The latest installment in the Sonic franchise has surpassed its predecessor, Sonic 2, in domestic earnings, yet it remains significantly behind the top-earning video game adaptation, The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The latter set a seemingly unbeatable record with domestic earnings of $574,934,330 and a global total of $1,359,146,628. While upcoming projects like the Minecraft movie and the Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel might pose a challenge, the current record appears formidable.
Despite not reaching the top spot, Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is a resounding success for Paramount, which has already greenlit Sonic 4. For fans and critics alike, the movie's performance is a testament to its appeal and the growing popularity of video game adaptations.
In the realm of other successful video game movie adaptations, 2022's Uncharted ranks fourth with domestic earnings of $148,648,820, while the original Sonic the Hedgehog movie holds the fifth spot with $146,066,470.
