Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is the most lucrative video game movie ever made in the United States
As pointed out by star Ben Schwartz, the sequel has now outperformed the first Sonic film, the former record holder. Sonic 2 has hit $ 147 million (and counts) compared to the original’s $ 146 million.
Sonic 2 did not conquer the global market, but still did quite well, earning $ 287.8 million according to Deadline. While still an impressive amount, the film does not make it to 2016’s World of Warcraft, which earned $ 439 million.
