Sonic the Hedgehog Sprints to First Place at the Box Office! Paramount Pictures’ Sonic the Hedgehog shot like Cupid’s Arrow to #1 at the Valentine’s Day Weekend box office with a $57 million three day debut and a $68 million estimated four day.
The impressive debut speeds past last year’s Pokémon Detective Pikachu to crown Sonic for the biggest opening ever for a video game movie.
While the film could ultimately wind up in the black, it’s certainly not the home run the DCEU needed.
Domestically it has taken $182.8 million for a worldwide cume of $369.8 million.
