Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Races to Second Highest-Grossing Video Game Movie Status

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has marked a significant significant achievement in the field of video game adaptations. Recent reports indicate that this beloved film has ascended to become the second highest-grossing video game movie ever, a feat accomplished only a week after it surpassed Warcraft's previous record.

Initially, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was celebrated for overtaking Warcraft with a remarkable performance at the box office. As the journey continued, the film showed promising signs of climbing further up the rankings, closing in on the second position held by Detective Pikachu.

Now, according to Box Office Mojo, it has been confirmed that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has amassed a staggering $462.5 million globally, eclipsing the $450 million garnered by Warcraft. However, this achievement may mark a sort of peak, as Sonic faces a long-standing adversary who traditionally has maintained a lead – Mario.

The honor of the highest-grossing film derived from a video game still belongs to The Super Mario Bros Movie, which accomplished a remarkable $1.36 billion at the box office. It seems unlikely that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will approach these lofty figures. Nevertheless, earning the second spot is no small achievement, and it is expected to hold this ranking until the anticipated launch of The Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel next year.
