After surpassing the original SonicTheHedgehog at the domestic US box office, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has now beat its predecessor's global record with $331.64 million.👏
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has officially surpassed its predecessor in global box office grosses. Jeff Fowler’s sequel features a plethora of returning cast members from the first film, including Ben Schwartz voicing the eponymous blue mammal, Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik/ Eggman, James Marsden, Adam Pally, Natasha Rothwell, and Tika Sumpter.
Thanks to SEGA’s blockbuster videogame franchise and 2020’s successful adaptation, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has been able to build on some formidable momentum. Since releasing in theaters on April 8th , the Sonic sequel grossed $72.1 million in the U.S in its first three days, which surpassed the original film’s record of $58.01 million. The film has earned $162.
The Sonic sequel's strong numbers are impressive, especially considering the stigma attached to video game movies and the pandemic’s effect on theater attendance. Many other video game adaptations have typically been criticized for fumbling the spirit of the source material. Sonic the Hedgehog and its successor have managed to launch a fun, family-friendly franchise that does relatively well with critics and audiences alike.
In the years since its widely panned redesign of SEGA's iconic character, Sonic the Hedgehog has become a standout franchise. Its box office numbers prove that audience interest remains strong, setting it apart from the shelf-life attached to other video game franchises. Sonic the Hedgehog may just lead the charge on a future filled with quality adaptations on screens big and small, including Sony’s Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us, and Nintendo’s Mario.
