Film sequel Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has broken its prequel’s record to become the most successful worldwide movie release for a video game adaptation ever. This is despite not yet being released in Japan, where you would assume SEGA would have some pull.
The gross comes in at $331.64 Million, surpassing Sonic 1’s $319.71 million, and making big cash for everyone involved. 4,234 theaters helped contribute, getting $71-million-and-change in the first three days in the US. It broke basically every video game film record in the US with regards to that.
