'Sonic the Hedgehog 2' raced towards $141 million at the global box office this weekend.
This weekend has been a very busy one for new film releases. One of the high-profile films coming out this week was Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The highly anticipated video game sequel has already won the domestic weekend, but the speedy blue blur is now the king of the international box office.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Sonic also had an impressive second weekend in some of its international markets. This includes making $3.8 million in the United Kingdom at 687 locations, $3 million in France at 696 locations, $2.1 million in Australia at 322 locations, and $1.4 million in Germany at 580 locations.
Sonic 2 now has a worldwide box office total of $141 million which includes the updated domestic weekend total of $71 million. This means the film made $13 million more than the first film’s $58 million opening weekend. This domestic number is even better when you realize that the first film opened on a holiday weekend and the sequel's opening weekend gross is $1 million more than the original's $70 million four-day opening.
Sonic 2 is directed by Jeff Fowler and stars Ben Schwartz, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, Colleen O'Shaughnessey, Jim Carrey, and Idris Elba. You can race to theaters now to see what all the fuss is about and remember to bring extra chilly dogs for the whole family.
