Will there be a Sonic the Hedgehog film sequel?

First issues first: if followers hadn’t been pleased with Sonic, we would not even be discussing the potential of a sequel. Fortuitously, that kerfuffle over the character’s preliminary look and his subsequent, costly redesign had a silver lining: it proved that the filmmakers had been dedicated to delivering a Sonicflick that the followers might get behind, and earned the film a heap of goodwill lengthy earlier than it even hit theaters.

Much more fortuitously, the image is fairly rattling good. Adapting this explicit online game property might have gone astoundingly mistaken in any variety of methods, however in opposition to all odds, director Jeff Fowler and firm delivered. After all, the movie is meant to kick-start a franchise; it would be bizarre if it wasn’t, and certain sufficient, its mid-credits scenes each tease a possible sequel (one which is able to function Sonic’s buddy Tails). Carrey has even stated that he is on board to return, in order that’s a plus — however, as everyone knows, cash talks.

On this occasion, cash is saying that Sonic 2is a definite chance. Sonic‘s price range has been reported at round $95 million afterthe price of Sonic’s redesign was factored in, pretty modest by tentpole requirements (by way of IndieWire). As of this writing, trade publication Box Office Prois reporting that the flick is projected to attain anyplace between $55 and $66 million in opposition to weak competitors over the four-day Presidents’ Day weekend.

With that form of opening body inside attain, and just about zero competitors for the household greenback till Pixar’s Onwarddrops on March 6, Sonicmay very well be a breakout hit — making a sequel a foregone conclusion. We’ll be maintaining an ear to the bottom for an announcement, and naturally, we’ll hold you in control.
