It's a good movie. Glad to see it doing well. Props to Paramount and Jeff Fowler for redoing the design of Sonic after that disastrous first trailer.
It actually passed the opening weekend of Detective Pikachu. Very impressive.
I watch Screen Rant vid about Sonic. The plot seem okay? The thing that set me off is Sonic is driving in a truck instead of traveling by running
I am very happy to see it doing well. Hoping it turns enough of a profit to warrant a sequel!
*snickers' But what about Super Mario bros
So does that mean they’ll make the sequel which should have been the original? Awesome!
'Detective Pokemon Pikachu'
Knowing that a movie that was expected to flop and Detective Pikachu are the two highest grossing and rated video game adaptations is absolutely fantastic to me.
How about an extra million to even out that number? 👀
Seriously!!
