While it is far from having finished its career in dark rooms and has yet to land on August 19 in Japanese cinemas, Sega offers itself a quantified point on the film directed by Jeff Fowler, whose receipts now reach 331.64 million worldwide, which allows it to surpass the balance sheet of its predecessor (319.71 million dollars), a surprise success partially compromised by the health crisis in early 2020.
The Paramount Pictures film, 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 at 162.74 million dollars, which makes it the biggest adaptation of a video game to the cinema in front of Uncharted, sonic and Pokemon: 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 global box office, sonic 2 is still ahead of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time ($336 million), Angry Birds the movie ($352 million), Uncharted ($395 million), rampage ($428 million), Pokemon: Detective Pikachu ($433 million) and Warcraft ($439 million). If the performance of the latter surprises you, note that its total drops to 214 million dollars without China.
