Sonic the Hedgehog topped the box office for a second time
23 Feb 2020    

By Tommy Pihl (Web correspondent)

In its second weekend, "Sonic the Hedgehog" outpaced Harrison Ford and a CGI dog "Disney's The Call of the Wild" to take the top spot at the North American box office.

The CGI and live-action Jim Carrey hit based on the popular Sega games, smashed the $100 million milestone at the domestic box office after collecting $26.3 million at U.S. theaters in its second weekend and its total is $106.6 million after ten days.

We at Jim Carrey Online expect it to finish around $165 million, it will bring it up in Top5 all time for Jim Carrey. Sonic is Jim's first movie to break the $100 million milestone since 2009's A Christmas Carol and Sonic is looking to finish up as Jim's highest grossing movie since 2003's Bruce Almighty which grossed amazing $242 million.

International
Internationally, Sonic added another $38.3 million, pushing the international cume to $96.5 million for a global tally topping $203 million. New openings were led by Russia with $6.3 million while the UK still leads the way overseas with a cumulative total of $19.1 million.

Next week it is set to open in Indonesia, Finland, India, Poland and Vietnam. China may be pushed for a later release.
