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.

Author : Owen Mar 04,2025

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 races past another box office milestone, 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 raked in over $204 million domestically after its fourth weekend, adding $11 million from 3,582 theaters. Globally, the film's impressive total stands at $384.8 million.

While surpassing its predecessor, Sonic 2, in domestic earnings, Sonic 3 still trails significantly behind the reigning champion, The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The Mario film achieved a phenomenal $574,934,330 domestically and a staggering $1,359,146,628 globally – 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 the considerable gap, the success of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is undeniable. The film is a significant 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.
