Screen adaptation “Sonic“Unexpectedly shows a very confident start in the US: for the first weekend, the picture raised 57 million dollars.
According to forecasts for tomorrow at home, the film will earn $ 68 million.
This is not only a record start for the adaptation of video games, but also for Presidential Day, which this year also coincides with Valentine’s Day. “Sonic” managed to break last year’s record “Detective Pikachu“, Which in May for the first weekend earned $ 54.3 million.
International tape fees so far amount to $ 43 million in 40 markets, so the total box office has already exceeded $ 100 million – the picture has already managed to cover the production budget, which is about $ 87 million.
After the initial scandal with the design of Sonic, who allegedly buried the film long before the premiere, the film adaptation suddenly not only shows itself perfectly at the box office, but also earned a very positive reaction from the audience – CinemaScore viewers gave her a rating of “A” (“Five”).
It is noteworthy that “Sonic in the cinema” goes above expectations not only of Paramount, but also of the market: even before the premiere, analysts expected starting fees slightly lower. This is a big win for the filmmakers.
Formally, “Sonic” in Russia starts only on February 20, and from the 13th the tape was launched in preview shows. Sessions, however, are many.
For the debut weekend, the picture earned 116 million rubles, which is lower “Warcraft“(600 million rubles),”Detective Pikachu“(246 million rubles) and”Tomb Raider: Lara Croft“(227 million rubles). However, the tape also has high competition from the sequel “Ice“.
