Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey's soft relaunch is going to kill Sonic at the box office
4 days left.
Sonic has no chance. Pokemon is the largest media franchise in the world. If Sonic is the Sun then Pikachu is UY Scuti.
Oh ho, it's no use Sonic fans. Give up.
Its plot won't save it, but the added comedy and animation skits might. I think Pokemon movie was marketed well, but being a Detective Pikachu adaptation threw people unfamiliar with either pokemon or that story off in the cinema, and the movie did a poor job of justifying why any of those Mons were as necessary for the screentime as they were.If we're talking RT scores, I'd say 50% at best. No way it ends up fresh.
Sonic Boom Defense Force. Seems like a good idea.
Like this a lot
That was mostly me 😁Yeah I think kids are still into Sonic. Those Mania shorts on YouTube have an insane amount of views.
I'm in the same boat as you, I really liked Detective Pikachu but it seems like kind of a hard sell if you're unfamiliar with Pokémon.Its plot won't save it, but the added comedy and animation skits might.

Pokemon fans gushed while regular audiences were like "Whah??". Even good CGI can't give it a free pass for not getting the right points across.
This movie, cliche as it is looks like it has a solid plot, that does a good job of making you invested in what you need to be invested in, which is Sonic and Jim Carrey's rivalry. As long as the lines are quippy and Jim Carrey is funny, it gives the movie tremendous goodwill with someone just going to see a piece of entertainment.
Fuck a character action shadow game would be an easy buy from me.
A Hedgehog with a sword?! What could possibly go wrong with that!Fuck a character action shadow game would be an easy buy from me.
It wouldn't be good, but I'd still buy it.
Seems to be for the four-day weekend, and I'm not sure how to parse some of that, but holy hell if that's true. The upper estimate for four-day was $47m.The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

Sonic is looking to track $60 Mil in it's first weekend.
You making a joke, but shadow can just make constructs out of energy. Its legit a power he has that is underutilized and it would genuinely be fun in that sort of game because he could just have dante style switching for freeA Hedgehog with a sword?! What could possibly go wrong with that!
We'll see. I've been keeping an eye on the amateur trackers on BOT but what they do is compare the pre-sales of various movies for a local theater or handful of theaters. It's extrapolation. A $60M 4-day weekend would be great and would set Sonic on Pikachu's warpath, so I'd like them to be right but let's see what happens.The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

This is a very sweet video you know. A different reaction than what you see some more cynical gamers.

The old design is starting to become another form of Sonic 06 in Sonic discussion. That wart that somebody just have to bring up every few minutes to remind people it existed.
Tomorrow at 10 pm pst.
I still wonder if the first pokemon movie having a talking pikachu was the right call. Also debuting during the endgame run probably hurt them. I thought that movie was pretty solid, Im shocked we havent heard of more live action Pokémon stuff being in production yet.
Unsatisfied with the Sonic movie not being a total disaster, gamers must constantly remember that the movie could have been a total disaster in order for the "Sonic is the worst thing ever made" running gag to endure.The old design is starting to become another form of Sonic 06 in Sonic discussion.

Yeah, but unlike Sonic '06, the Trailer 1 Sonic design was actually bad.The old design is starting to become another form of Sonic 06 in Sonic discussion. That wart that somebody just have to bring up every few minutes to remind people it existed.
Horrifying warts that never should have existed is literally what Sonic is all about. The occasional good game is just a weird anomaly.The old design is starting to become another form of Sonic 06 in Sonic discussion.

Lest we forget the Sonic franchise's unofficial tagline: "Mistakes Into Miracles"Horrifying warts that never should have existed is literally what Sonic is all about. The occasional good game is just a weird anomaly.

Ok forget the 3% that didn't like Mania. Lets start by lynching the 13% that liked Forces. They have no shame.
Birds of prey don't exactly have a great track record against Sonic.
It wasn't solid. They needed to spend more time on the story. It was a mess.
30% is what this movie will get on rotten tomatoes. If it even manages to gets higher than 50%, I'll eat a cockroach.
