The Paramount film about the iconic Sega video character brought in an estimated $57 million domestically for its opening weekend. That number blew past expectations of the film making closer to $40 million.
New York "Sonic the Hedgehog" eluded mixed reviews, production delays and a set of bad teeth to race to the top of the box office this weekend.
The opening gave the film, which stars Jim Carrey, the top spot at the box office and is the highest-grossing opening ever for a video game film."Sonic" has made $100 million globally so far."Sonic" had several hurdles to clear to win the weekend for Paramount. For starters, films based on video games usually aren't very popular with audiences. Even a 1993 film based on Super Mario, arguably one of the most recognizable brands in video game history, didn't do well.
