If it manages to surpass Uncharted before then, I’m sure that’ll warrant one more. This might be the last box office article, at least until Sonic 2 releases in Japan on August 19. This news caught me a little off guard, as international numbers are usually only posted on Sunday, but I guess Paramount wanted to get these numbers out early, given the milestone. It’s easy to see why they bet big on this franchise before this movie even came out. I have to say, I wasn’t actually sure it could hit this number. It’s been interesting charting Sonic 2’s box office success, and seeing it persist in theaters for this long. Internationally, it’s now at $209,450 million, bring its total box office to $400,015,448. It’s US numbers now sit at $190,564 million, with it typically making well under $100k daily. It will almost certainly surpass Uncharted, potentially as early as this weekend, but as it stands it is now the fifth most profitable video game movie of all time, and the only one of the 5 to achieve that number without being released in Japan or China. Only four other movies hav reached that number: Uncharted ($401 mill), Rampage ($422 mill), Detective Pikachu ($433.4 mill), and Warcraft ($439 mill).

It happened a little later than I’d hoped, but it finally happened: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has surpassed $400 million, putting it amongst a rare breed of video game movies to surpass that milestone.
