Sonic the hedgehog 2 beat the original film by scoring $331.64 million at the worldwide box office. This makes it the most successful video game adaptation of all time.

It’s a good result for the film, which debuted on April 8 in the United States and March 31 outside the United States. That’s good news for Sega, which owns the Sonic game franchise and co-produced the film with Paramount Pictures. The previous film reached $319.71 million after opening in 2020.

The film was also a hit worldwide, debuting at No. 1 in 47 markets including the UK, France, Australia and other countries, as well as strong sales in Mexico and in Brazil.

The film’s US box office topped $162.74 million, surpassing the previous film’s $148.97 million, breaking the previous record for the highest-grossing video game-based film adaptation of all time. It also grossed $168.9 million internationally and reached $331.64 million worldwide, surpassing its predecessor.

sonic the hedgehog 2 arrives in Japan on August 19. Directed by Jeff Fowler, the film’s cast included James Marsden, Ben Schwartz, Tika Sumpter and Natasha Rothwell.

Since the release of the first Sonic the Hedgehog game in 1991, the Sonic series has grown in popularity worldwide, with SEGA releasing 1.38 billion units/DL of the series to date. In addition to games, SEGA is developing a variety of initiatives globally, including movies, animations, music and merchandising. The next film is expected in 2023 or later.
