Sonic 2, the movie is already the highest-grossing video game adaptation in US history.

Although at an international level, it is still far from the most successful productions of such feature films.

With Sonic 2, the latest US box office data available, the movie grossed $146.3 million in less than a month in theaters, making it the most successful video game adaptation in the North American country’s history.

That record has been held so far by Sonic, the movie that cost $146.1 million shortly before the outbreak of the health crisis caused by Covid-19 in 2020. Paramount Pictures production also surpasses Uncharted, which managed to rise to third place with a very close figure.

Warcraft remains the highest-grossing adaptation worldwideHowever, the record SEGA’s blue hedgehog achieved in its second cinematographic attack has no international repercussions. $288.2 million cumulativeIt’s worth noting that the sequel has yet to reach several Asian markets, even though the original film was priced under $319.7 million. Warcraft remains the most successful adaptation worldwide, followed by Pokémon: Detective Pikachu and Rampage, all worth over $400 million.

From Paramount Pictures, they are 100% convinced of the franchise’s profitability and are working on a third installment, with it unknown whether it will be there after Jim Carrey announced his retirement from the profession a few weeks ago. An animated series starring Knucles has also been greenlit for Paramount+.
