Sonic Zooms Past 'Mario' as Second-Highest Grossing Video Game Film in NA

Author : Sophia Update:Feb 11,2025

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

The film, featuring Keanu Reeves as Shadow the Hedgehog, has surpassed $204 million in domestic revenue after its fourth weekend, adding $11 million from 3,582 theaters. Globally, the film boasts an impressive $384.8 million.

While surpassing its predecessor, Sonic 2, domestically, 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 represent a potentially insurmountable record for video game adaptations, though upcoming films like the Minecraft movie and the Super Mario Bros. sequel might pose a challenge.

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, in fourth place with $148,648,820 domestically, and the original Sonic movie, in fifth place with $146,066,470.
