Sonic 3 Surpasses All but Super Mario in North America's Box Office

by Jonathan May 24,2025

Sonic The Hedgehog 3 has raced past another milestone, securing its position as the second highest-grossing video game movie adaptation in North America. With Keanu Reeves joining the cast as Shadow the Hedgehog, the film has now surpassed $204 million domestically after its fourth weekend, pulling in $11 million across 3,582 locations. Globally, the movie has amassed an impressive $384.8 million.

The latest Sonic installment has outpaced its predecessor, Sonic 2, in the domestic box office race. However, it remains far behind the top-earning video game adaptation, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which raked in a staggering $574,934,330 domestically and a breathtaking $1,359,146,628 worldwide. These figures set a high bar that might be challenging for future adaptations to surpass, though upcoming films like the Minecraft movie and the Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel could come close.

Despite not reaching the top spot, Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is a resounding success for Paramount, which has already greenlit Sonic 4. For those curious about other successful video game movie adaptations, 2022's Uncharted holds the fourth spot with $148,648,820 domestically, while the original Sonic movie comes in fifth with $146,066,470.
