When the first Sonic film was released, it was very close to opening up pretty well and breaking the fortunes of the play films. However, before the film reached its full potential in the release, the pandemic period broke out and there was great disappointment for Paramount. The sequel to the series managed to surpass the first one with the revival of cinemas after the pandemic. Sonic 2, which has an opening box office of about $71 million, topped the charts in gaming in this sense.
The opening box office for the first Sonic film was around $58 million, so there’s been a significant increase. Sonic 2, on the other hand, has topped the list of films currently in release. The second Morbius film generated around 10 million this week, while the third, The Lost City, grossed just over 9 million this week. Sonic 2’s opening weekend box office also surpassed morbius and the lost city’s total box office.
If Sonic 2 continues its successful momentum, it could also capture the title of best-grossing game movie. It belongs to the warcraft movie, which generated a record $440 million in box office revenue. Pokemon: Detective Pikachu is second with $431 million. While the Sonic Cinematic Universe has been announced, perhaps a new and abundantly box office era can begin in the game films. At the end of the day, how much sonic 2 will make at the box office will be one of the decisive factors in this regard.
