Sonic the Hedgehog hits box office with over $100 million in first week

The Sonic the Hedgehog movie, which was once considered a flop after the first trailer was released, now appears to be a huge success.

According to foreign media reports, since its release on Valentine's Day (2.14), "Sonic the Hedgehog" broke the record for video game-adapted movies in North America in the first three days of its release, earning $57 million at the box office. In comparison, "Detective Pikachu" earned $54.3 million.

According to statistics, "Sonic the Hedgehog" has an overseas box office of 43 million US dollars, which means that the film's cumulative box office has now exceeded 100 million US dollars.

Foreign media reported that the film produced by Paramount was released in more than 40 countries and regions around the world, and performed very well in Latin America and European countries, ranking first in many regions. The strong opening of "Sonic the Hedgehog" in the first week means that the previous decision to postpone the film and repair the character design was correct.

The high box office of "Sonic the Hedgehog" is of course also due to its unique external conditions, including Valentine's Day and the presidential holiday, when many parents wanted to spend time with their children, and the film did not have particularly strong competitors during this period. In addition, "Sonic" itself is a well-known brand that attracts many young audiences.
