That's what can happen when you listen to your fanbase and improve instead of curse and badmouth then.
Congrats Sonic, will watch with my son soon enough.

It's nice to see it doing well after the initial backlash. I think I'll watch it at some point, mainly for Jim Carrey.

Movie looks like good silly fun. Had good time with Pickachu also despite not interested in Pokemon games.

Sonic needed that win. Happy for all involved. I plan on taking my nephews next weekend...but those little assholes don't know how to behave!

So they take after their uncle.

Not bad. Unless it's really front-loaded, it ought to gross at least $140-150M domestically. It still hasn't released in all markets yet (Japan and China aren't until later), and it ought to clear $300M WW assuming the domestic market is at least somewhat less than half the total global market. That's against a budget of $85M, so it ought to easily pass the threshold of profitability.

I plan on going to go see in on Tuesday after work.

China might be problematic with many theatres and other public gathering spots being closed and if allowed to be open people staying away.

I didn't realize this earlier, but it made more money than Detective Pikachu. That's pretty crazy.

I was surprised by how many kids were excited to see the movie, for me it would have mostly 30 or over on the movie. It was full for several days.

That's cool, but now we will see a deluge of video game adaptations in cinema, at a time where cash-cow milking is at an all-time high.

Other than that I'm happy for Sonic as a franchise, it needed this win if we want to see more Sonic Adventure games in the future.

Sony have been claiming to be working on Uncharted and God of War movies tor a long time. Resident Evil is getting a reboot I think too. There is also a Super Mario movie slated for 2022. The milking is already happening.

I would like to see a Mega Man movie (though admittedly, not sure if they'd be able to pull it off to the same success as Sonic).

I want Mega-Man-X4-cinematics-quality acting if they do a Mega Man movie.
