"UPDATED, Saturday AM final: After a string of pricey duds with Gemini Man, Terminator: Dark Fate, and Rhythm Section, Paramount gets back on track with its net $87M production of Sonic the Hedgehog. The film could potentially score the best video game feature adaptation debut of all-time, with a 3-day of $53.99M and 4-day of $64.3M, according to industry estimates this morning.

Anything over $54.3M in 3-days beats the previous record set by Legendary/Warner Bros. Pokemon: Detective Pikachu. On a 4-day basis, Sonic does beat Detective Pikachu as the best start for a video game feature, the former pic earning $58M over a non-holiday period last May. Paramount is seeing on their end a $50M 3-day and $60M 4-day for Sonic which is still great"

Man, I legit thought with all the bad games in the series that there's no way Sonic had enough popularity to justify a movie.

Seems I was wrong.

Sonic had a good decade! Plus, it's one of those things where parents are old enough to grow up with Sonic and now want to introduce their kids to him.

There are so many kids who were so excited for this movie when I went to see it. It kind of lit my heart up with joy since Sonic was my favorite thing as a kid.

That said, the moving was pretty outstanding and I felt like they managed to make it fun and seemed to really care about the series. It's amazing to me that with so much care put into every aspect of this movie that we ended up with the awful original design in the first place, likely because some idiot exec wanted forced him to look more like a human-hedgehog freakshow.

You could tell they played it safe with things, but I think with the next movie they're willing to get really weird with it due to the two credits scenes. I'm excited to see what they do with a sequel since I'm sure after the original design fiasco they're just going to let them do whatever.

My little nephew only has exposure to Sonic from playing some of the mobile games and smash for 3DS (all his parents let him have) and with just that little amount of exposure he's stoked

We're all cynical adults on the internet that see Sonic as washed up furry bait but none of that is apparent to kids who I'm sure all think Sonic is rad as heck

I gotta say, though

With as much care as they put into many of the game references they made, I'm beginning to move into the camp that thinks the horrid original Sonic was a marketing ploy

Either that or they just locked whoever came up with it in a closet and completely retuned almost the entire movie.

Man, being a huge Sonic fan I really am glad this is supposedly gonna be a hit.

So much of my 90's love stuff that was brought back kinda flopped (Power Rangers, for example) that I figured even if this looked better it would still not do any good in theaters.

Just saw this movie! Expected it to be totally uninteresting...

...but instead, I absolutely loved it, one of the best comedies I've ever seen, just an outstanding number of good jokes. A few lame jokes, but that's always gonna happen. Great, relatable characters and themes too, I found. I even liked Sonic as a character a lot, and usually I hate that type of annoying energetic character.

Yeah, I thought it was decent. I feel like the trailers don't do it justice since they're catered to kids and so the jokes in them are kiddy. It has some pretty good laughs.

Carrey is extremely Jim Carrey in all the right ways, so mileage will vary.

I personally thought the quirks he went with fit Robotnik pretty well.

90s movie describes it quite well.
it's clearly meant for kids but there's definitely enough hits for adults familiar with the series to get a few notable references. it's really well done. don't set your expectations too high mind you but it's definitely enjoyable, which is way better than initial expectations of "live action Sonic movie" were.

Jim Carrey did outstanding in his role and you could tell he was just having a really fun time. At the end of the movie, he goes full on Jim Carrey and it's probably one of the best parts. In the sequel you can tell he's just going to unleash entirely and that's just going to be AMAZING.

Yeah, I remember Jim Carrey in an interview saying he would do a sequel in a heartbeat to keep telling the story of Robotnik. I think Jim Carrey had a point in his career where he wanted to do more serious and meaningful stuff, but now he just feels like he wants to entertain people again.

Honestly, every interview with Jim Carrey promoting this has just been so refreshing and he just seems so happy.

Like seriously, this film is not really outstanding, but is not the dumpster fire that videogame films are infamous for. It's a normal blockbuster. It's like VG movies have been hitting the level comic book ones were hitting 20 years ago.

Give it a few more years and we may start seeing stuff as good as Avengers if this keeps going.

And I'd kill for a live action Zelda film with high production values.
