Paramount Pictures? Sonic the Hedgehog film is already breaking box office records. With approximately $57 million earned at the domestic box office, Sonic the Hedgehog now has the biggest opening weekend for a video game film in North America. This record-breaking feat means Sonic?s big screen outing overtook Detective Pikachu, which last year earned just over $54 million domestically in its opening weekend.
The speedy character brought in quite the haul overseas, too, amassing more than $43 million across 40 markets. That brings the film?s international cume to an impressive grand total of $100 million in its first weekend alone. Technically, in the States at least, the weekend isn?t over just yet. President?s Day means Sonic the Hedgehog is bound to make an even bigger splash with the three-day weekend. In fact, Paramount?s latest is projected to clean up a four-day gross of $70 million at the US box office, according to estimates via The Hollywood Reporter.
