same here. i saw it last night but most of my friends had no idea there even were showings on thursday. Will be interesting to see how tonight fares!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.
Oh saucy. Is there a source on that?Sonic is looking like it could make a run for a $70m 4-day weekend.
Pikachu is toast.
Sonic defeating Pokemon is soooo good for the soul. First Detective Pikachu GETS NOWHERE NEAR CLOSE TO BEATING TOY STORY 4 and now this. Love to see it.
Haven't you noticed the past two years? Its a popular thing to hate on everything Pokemon on this forum.
Indeed. It's nice to see Sonic triumph against all thr adversity.It's a good underhog story. People have been wanting this movie to fail for a long time.
Decades of mediocrity and it's still got fansWe joke about people calling Pokemon a fad at any sign of waning popularity but if anything Sonic is the franchise that just seems to never die no matter what.

Congrats for Sonic tho
Yep. Even the recent thread praising the soundtrack of Sonic is filled with people shitting on it. Like, music of the franchise should be the one universal thing everyone should agree is stellar across the board. Apparently not.Yea and the forum just loves Sonic right ? Even the smallest things get called out. You legit can't make a thread praising any aspect of the franchise without getting completely shat on or getting weird fan art posts. "Sonic was never good" ... etc.
Its good to see the underdog win for a change.

To be fair there are more negatives than positive with this franchise. I love Sonic and always have but the series is inconsistent af. Mania was awesome and then they come out with Forces???Yea and the forum just loves Sonic right ? Even the smallest things get called out.

Anyone that has any experience with kids should have known that a Sonic movie would be successful.
The Genesis was big in the US, UK , and South AmericaI am curious how big he is outside the US. Because my sister has 3 kids but none of them even know Sonic (which kinda makes me a bit sad), even when I grew up only my uncle had a console (forgot which one it was) I could play Sonic on. I am from Germany btw so maybe someone has actual numbers how big that IP here is. I genuinly dont know in which regions that IP really took off, my gut feeling is US and UK? Maybe I am wrong on that.

The constant state of dissing on Sonic has been pretty tiring. It's like people still think '06 is the gold standard for the series rather than a misstep, or pretend that their own favorite series doesn't have weird fans.

I wouldn't say that.the popularity of Sonic with kids today has almost nothing to do with Sega.
Yeah, like there is so much creepy stuff for Mario out there, but people just ignore it because the games have been so consistently rock solid. (Also sexual Mario fan art isn't inherently furry whereas Sonic... is, so there's that I suppose)The constant state of dissing on Sonic has been pretty tiring.
