Two of the most successful video game movies ever made are now trending on Prime Video. According to FlixPatrol, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and The Super Mario Bros. Movie have both entered the platform’s top 10 movie rankings, signaling strong streaming momentum for these box office giants.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 currently sits at #3 on Prime Video’s movie chart and has landed at #8 on the overall top 10 list, which includes both films and TV shows. Its debut comes shortly after the film passed Detective Pikachu’s $450 million global total to become the second highest-grossing video game movie of all time, ending its boxoffice run at $492 million worldwide.
Not far behind, The Super Mario Bros. Movie holds the #6 spot on Prime Video’s movie chart. The Illumination and Nintendo animated hit remains the reigning champion of the genre with an astounding $1.36 billion in global box office revenue.
The inclusion of both movies on Prime Video offers fans a perfect back-to-back marathon of the two biggest names in video game film history. Sonic 3 delivers high-octane live-action excitement, including the return of Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik and the long-anticipated debut of Shadow the Hedgehog, voiced by Keanu Reeves. Meanwhile, The Super Mario Bros. Movie provides a colorful animated journey with a star-studded voice cast featuring Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, and Jack Black as Bowser.
Their presence on the same platform highlights their crossover appeal. While Prime Video’s rankings are often dominated by mature dramas and thrillers, Sonic and Mario stand out as the only all-ages family-friendly films currently in the top 10. Their ability to hold their own alongside titles like The Accountant and Nosferatu speaks volumes about their enduring popularity.
As Sonic the Hedgehog 3 continues to build momentum on streaming, fans can enjoy the latest chapter in the Blue Blur’s cinematic saga right from home — while revisiting Mario’s massive return to the silver screen.
