Sonic Soars to Second Place in Box Office History

By ScarlettFeb 20,2025

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Blasts Past Box Office Milestones

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 continues its box office triumph, securing its place as the second highest-grossing video game movie adaptation in North American history. The film, featuring Keanu Reeves as Shadow the Hedgehog, has raked in over $204 million domestically after its fourth weekend, adding $11 million from 3,582 theaters. Globally, the film boasts an impressive $384.8 million.

This latest installment surpasses its predecessor, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, in domestic earnings. However, it still trails significantly behind the reigning champion, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which achieved a staggering $574,934,330 domestically and a phenomenal $1,359,146,628 globally. These figures 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 the significant gap, the success of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is undeniable. It's a resounding hit for Paramount Pictures, which has already greenlit Sonic 4.

Other notable video game movie adaptations include 2022's Uncharted, which holds the fourth position with $148,648,820 in domestic earnings, and the original Sonic the Hedgehog, in fifth place at $146,066,470.
