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.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 races past another box office milestone, securing its position as the second highest-grossing video game movie adaptation in North American history.
Boasting Keanu Reeves as Shadow the Hedgehog, the film has raked in over $204 million domestically after its fourth weekend, adding $11 million from 3,582 theaters. Globally, its impressive box office total stands at $384.8 million.
While surpassing its predecessor, Sonic 2, in the domestic market, Sonic 3 still trails significantly behind the reigning champion: The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The Mario film's domestic gross of $574,934,330 and global total of $1,359,146,628 are figures that may remain unbeaten for some time, though upcoming films like the Minecraft movie and the Super Mario Bros. sequel could pose a challenge.
Despite this considerable gap, the success of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is undeniable, representing a significant win for Paramount Pictures, 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 the Hedgehog, in fifth with $146,066,470.
