Did it? From what I read Sonic had a significantly less estimated budget than Pikachu.
It's a fun family film . The script could use a little more polish and punch up, but both Schwartz and Jim Carrey put a lot of life into the characters.
Just saw this and quite honestly enjoyed it. The jokes landed and I laughed quite a bit. I want a sequel very badly for various reasons haha
This was one of the best nights of my life.
So we had a Sonic fan meetup for the movie over at AMC Universal and I went dressed as Robotnik. The crowd (albeit, a biased, Sonic loving crowd) love, love, LOVED this movie. The MAJOR SPOILER
got the loudest reaction I've ever heard in a movie theater.
But the icing on the cake is that once the credits started rolling again after the mid-credits scene, the lights went up and there was Ben Schwartz, Tyson Hesse (2D Sonic animator and the one who redesigned the character) and director, Jeff Fowler! Ben saw me right away in the Robotnik costume and had me stand up for the crowd. I got a picture with him later.
As a Sonic fan, I couldn't have fantasized a better night at seeing him on the big screen.
P.S. For the two or so fans who went "WHOO!" when
what is wrong with you?!!

Sonic's bare feet were slightly exposed through the beat-up socks,
The best Sonic thing since the 90's cartoon was the Sonic Boom animated series.
Pure perfection.
Lol. I wonder if i should feel disturbed or amused that a movie that is supposed to be bad gets 7 or something like that.
I thought it would get a least 4 or something like at a level of mediocre

This is so ridiculously awesome! What I'd have done to trade places with you! lol
Did you or anyone there record the crowd reaction to the mid-credits scene? I'd love to see it!
EDIT: Oh hey, so thanks to the Tweet above we know at least one person was probably recording the mid-credits scene since the video starts right after it...

I have a Dolby Cinema screening in the morning. I've skimmed some broad impressions, glad it isn't bad. Though I would pay to see it no matter how bad it is probably, lol.
That's me in bright red in the crowd. Here's a better look at my full costume.
The fact that they made a good movie out of a video game series that shits out mediocre installment after mediocre installment disappointing fans everywhere on a yearly basis proves we're in a new timeline. It's now all but guaranteed that the Mario movie will be terrible and a massive flop.
Sounds like they definitely want a sequel and had fun XD!
Going to go see this later today with my Grandma
Saw the movie yesterday and yeah, it's surprisingly decent!
Jim Carrey plays a big part of why I love it, he's always angry and crazy, reminds me a lot of his Ace Ventura years, which is a great thing.
Yes, stay there.

Yeah, but don't bother staying until the very end of the credits like I did. After the amazing mid-credit scene, that's it.

Pretty good Thursday night numbers!
Thanks, i doubt i'll spend a great time but at least there's jim carey, we'll see!
Saw a showing last night with a few friends; about 10 other people besides us, but it's a late Thursday in a small city so not too surprising.
I was all smiles the whole time, and I'm surprised at how many jokes hit for me. After seeing the pre- and mid-credit scenes I really hope this makes enough for a sequel.

The credits sequence was great too.
I maintain they should have committed harder to the absurdity of this sequence and gone further with it. Sonic should have, a la frog prince, turned into a blue-hair bishounen fellow after that for the final boss. Lack of vision on the part of the developers, frankly.
It's been all over the place, it was at 63% even earlier. Guess the low 60s is where it'll land unless more harsh reviews come.
