Nothing can slow down Sonic The Hedgehog.
„Sonic The Hedgehog 2,“ the Paramount sequel about the iconic Sega video game character, notched an estimated $71 million domestically for its opening this weekend, according to the studio. That number not only exceeded expectations that had the film making closer to $50 million, but also marks the biggest opening ever for a video game based film. The sequel, which stars Jim Carrey as Doctor Robotnik, also outperformed the original, which opened in February 2020 to $58 million. The big weekend is a victory for Paramount and theater operators. The studio has had a solid start to 2022 thanks to two sequels that beat expectations at the box office.
