Weekend Box Office Forecast (Updated): Sonic the Hedgehog Tracking for Possible Breakout; Blumhouse’s Fantasy Island & The Photograph Aim to Leverage Double-Holiday Frame - Boxoffice
Hollywood is hoping for a major boost to the market with two major moviegoing holidays on deck this weekend: Valentine's Day on Friday, followed by Presidents Day on Monday.www.boxofficepro.com
Not really, tracking usually just gets posted in the weekend box office threads.
It would need to do really well internationally, Pikachu grossed a little under $300m outside of the US.
It'll be tough without China (which was $99m of Pikachu's worldwide total).
No, Warcraft is still the king. It didn't do much domestically but made a killing in China.

It doesn't need to be fast, it just needs better legs than Pikachu, which tbh might not be that difficult considering what its competition is over the next couple of weekends
We aren't out yet. Will the blue hog be fast enough? I think not. The stage is set.

Forreal. I did not have confidence in this movie critically or BO-wise LOLPeople who bet against Sonic right now:
Welp, time to lose my avatar to Pokemon again.People who bet against Sonic right now:
A lot of kids have the day off, so it will be a bigger first Monday than if there wasn't a holiday.

People who bet against Sonic right now:
The kids and I would be part of that $3 million...and there was only a single showing at my local AMC. I do not think most people knew about the preview showings though. I know I surprised a lot of people yesterday by commenting on that I'd just got back from it.Dangit

Weren't people saying Pikachu performed more like a comic book movie in terms of legs? Sonic opening more in line with a children's movie (albeit a very successful one - HTTYD outgrossed Pikachu) could imply legs like one, which would give it a much better multiplier.
If it hits $60m for the four-day weekend, I'd say it's almost guaranteed.
Yeah Pikachu was a family movie that performed like a CBM/blockbuster
