It
looks
like
adding
the
star
power
of
Keanu
Reeves
to
Sonic
the
Hedgehog
3
was
a
good
call
as
the
movie
has
become
the
second-highest
grossing
video
game
film
of
all
time.
That’s
according
to
Box
Office
Mojo
which
lists
the
film
as
having
a
worldwide
gross
of
$462,581,646.
That
beats
out
the
previous
2nd
place
holder
Detective
Pikachu
which
grossed
$450
million
at
the
cinema.
Advertisements
Sonic
the
Hedgehog
3
had
a
production
budget
of
$122
million,
so
it
took
in
3.8
times
that
in
the
cinema.
Sonic
the
Hedgehog
3’s
success
also
means
it
beat
both
of
the
previous
movies.
The
original
took
in
$319,715,683
at
the
box
office,
while
the
sequel
managed
$405,421,518.
While
certainly
not
unheard
of,
it’s
unusual
for
each
film
in
a
series
to
bring
in
even
more
than
the
last.
With
that
said,
both
of
those
movies
had
a
$90
million
production
budget
each,
thus
Sonic
2
grossed
4.5
times
its
budget
at
the
box
office.
It’s
no
surprise,
then,
that
Sonic
the
Hedgehog
4
has
already
been
announced
for
March,
2027.
But
as
wildly
successful
as
Sonic
the
Hedgehog
3
was,
it
didn’t
even
come
close
to
toppling
the
most
successful
video
game
movie
of
all
time.
That
record
is
still
held
by
The
Super
Mario
Bros.
Movie
which
took
in
a
worldwide
gross
of
$1,360,847,665.
