The film Sonic 2 surpasses its predecessor at the Box Office

In the wake of its very good start, the film Sonic 2 will only need a month to outdo the already considerable performance of its predecessor.

While he is far from having finished his career in dark rooms and still has to land on August 19 in Japanese cinemas, Sega offers a point encrypted on the film directed by Jeff Fowler whose recipes now reach 331.64 Millions of dollars worldwide, which allows him to surpass the assessment of his predecessor (319.71 million dollars), a surprise success partially compromised by the health crisis in early 2020.

The film by Paramount Pictures, which has already validated the production of a third feature film, owes a large part of its success to the American public. At the box office across the Atlantic, sonic 2 is $ 162.74 million, which makes him the biggest adaptation of a video game in the cinema in front of Uncharted, sonic and pokémon: detective pikachu. In France, sonic 2 has just crossed the 2 million admissions mark, in the wake of the performance of the film Uncharted (2.5 million admissions) released two months earlier.

At the world box office, sonic 2 is still ahead of prince of persia: the sands of time ($ 336 million), angry Birds, the film (352 million dollars), unchanted ($ 395 million), rampage (428 million dollars), Pokémon: Pikachu detective ($ 433 million) and warcraft ($ 439 million). If the latter's performance surprises you, note that its total falls to $ 214 million without China.

In the news of the hedgehog, let us recall that the Sonic Origins compilation will be available on June 23 to generate the impulse of nostalgia necessary before appreciating the large open world turn of Sonic Frontiers, whose exit is hoped for at the end of the year. At the same time, Netflix is ready to send sonic Prime, its new animation series in 24 episodes.
