Sega and Paramount Pictures' Sonic the Hedgehog film has grossed $203.1 million worldwide since launching in cinemas.
As reported by Deadline, the new flick starring the 'Blue Blur' has made the majority of that number from residents in the US at $106.6 million. These numbers cover the movies 10-day run since releasing on February 14th, 2020.
Sonic's first live-action release has proven hugely successful after initially making $58 million in its first three days, cementing itself as the highest-grossing opening weekend for a film based on a video game.
Does it have legs?
Detective Pikachu is currently the highest-grossing video game film ever, making $436 million globally, as well as holding onto a 69 per cent approval rating on review-aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes.
Meanwhile, Sonic currently sits at a 63 per cent review rating but a 94 per cent audience score and still has some way to go to top the Pokemon motion picture.
Previously, the Angry Birds film sequel earned itself the title of highest-rated video game movie ever, however, this number has since declined opening the way for Sonic and co.
