“Sonic the Hedgehog 3” has **achieved a significant milestone**, generating over $200 million in North American box office sales. This success marks it as the second video game adaptation to exceed this amount, following “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” which reached the figure in 2023. Released in late December, “Sonic 3” has garnered over $380 million globally.
Historically, video game movies have struggled to reach similar financial successes domestically. “Sonic 3” joins an **exclusive group** of only 10 video game films, including notable titles such as “Pokémon: Detective Pikachu” and “Uncharted,” to earn at least $100 million in North America.
Due to the movie’s robust performance, Paramount has approved a sequel, expected by fans in 2027. Although “Sonic 3” remains behind “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” in global earnings— with the latter surpassing $1.3 billion worldwide— it underscores the increasing potential and shifting audience perception of video game adaptations in the film industry.
