And by most accounts Sonic the Hedgehog is very much a family film, a quality that may help it with some schools closed today and the majority of K-12 schools closed on Monday for the President’s Day holiday.

As far as how high Sonic the Hedgehog will go, the tracking has put the Sega movie to open between $40 million and $47 million over the four-day weekend.
