The action-adventure, based on the Sega video game character, opened in 4,130 locations. The film follows Sonic (Ben Schwartz), the world’s fastest hedgehog, and his best friend Tom Wachowski (James Marsden), who are trying to save the planet from the evil Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey).

Sonic the Hedgehog aimed to make $40-45 million from its $87 million production, and with high opening numbers from the box office during its opening week, it’s expected to surpass that and break the record for the best video game feature adaption currently held by Legendary/Warner Bros’ Pokemon: Detective Pikachu.

Pokemon: Detective Pikachu made $54.3 million in 3 days and Sonic the Hedgehog made $53.99 million in three days. However, in its 4-day opening, Sonic the Hedgehog generated around $65 million.

Despite the film’s release being delayed because of the backlash from fans about Sonic’s look, and Paramount and director Jeff Fowler having to re-design the character, the reviews have been positive, with Rotten Tomatoes giving it 63 percent.

Led by Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, the third installment in the series has made over $291 million globally, surpassing the previous record-holder, 2003’s Bad Boys II, which made $271 million, and the 1995 Bad Boys, which made $141 million worldwide.

Bad Boys for Life has taken the top spot in the international box office for the third week in a row, bringing in 30.8 million.

The film follows Detective Mike Lowrey (Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Lawrence) and the Miami PD’s elite AMMO team, who are trying to bring down the head of a drug cartel, Amando Armas (Jacob Scipio). Also starring in Bad Boys for Life are Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, Charles Melton, Paola Nunez, Kate Del Castillo, and Nicky Jam.

Other box office hits include Lionsgate’s Knives Out, which is close to hitting the $300 million mark. Taking the second spot is 1917, which also had a great weekend in theatres, adding $20.9 million to its already $249 million made from worldwide box offices. Dolittle earned the third spot, earning 17.7 million to its $126 million.

The latest installment of Marvel’s X-Men franchise failed to convince moviegoers in an already low-earning nationwide box office. The low numbers earned the Simon Kinberg-helmed feature the title of the lowest opening in the franchise’s 19-year run, beating the previous title holder, 2013’s The Wolverine.

The superhero pic starring Sophie Turner, James McAvoy, and Michael Fassbender was beaten out by the family friendly animated The Secret Life of Pets 2, which collected $47.1 million domestically.

Dark Phoenix did do a bit better at the international box office with $107 million. There it beat the pet-centered pic that earned $16 million globally. 

Box office holdovers included Disney’s live-action Aladdin, which banked another $67.6 million worldwide, bringing its total to $604 million. Godzilla: King of the Monsters amassed $292 million globally. Paramount’s Rocketman rounds out this weekend’s top five with a total of $51 million.

Check out the top ten for this weekend’s box office. 

1. The Secret Life of Pets 2— $47.1 million

Hauling $7 million on Thursday and $31 million and Friday from 4,476 North American theaters the remake of the Disney classic is estimated to gross grand total of $109 million over its four-day Memorial Day opening weekend.

This will make Aladdin the sixth-highest Memorial Day weekend debut ever, behind 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, which hauled $110.5 million.

The feature stars Mena Massoud as the titular character opposite Naomi Scott as Jasmine and Will Smith as the Genie. Marwan Kenzari, Navid Negahban, Nasim Pedrad, and Billy Magnussen co-star. Ritchie directed from a script he co-worte with John August.

The Warner Bros. flick made quite a mark at the box office when it was released in June 2017.

The film, starring Gal Gadot as the titular character, earned $103.2 million during its opening weekend and went on to claim a total of $821.8 million worldwide.

But now Diana Prince’s reign has been overtaken by a fellow comic book star — albeit more of a villainous kind.

Venom, which features the character who is a nemesis of Spider-Man, may have gotten mixed reviews from both critics and audiences, but has done pretty well at the box office.

So well, in fact, that the Marvel blockbuster has now earned $822.5 million at the global box office.

The figure places the Tom Hardy film ahead of Wonder Woman, and on track to become one of the biggest box office earners.

Take that, Princess.

Despite tepid responses from critics, moviegoers are loving the new Tiffany Haddish — Kevin Hart comedy. 

Expectations were high and the funny duo delivered with a very strong first weekend at the box office. The Universal comedy has topped the domestic box office with $28 million in ticket sales across theaters in the US and Canada from Friday to Sunday. The film was made for about $29 million. 

Night School beat Smallfoot which came in second at the box office earning $23 million. Made for about $80 million it tells the story of a Yeti who forms an unlikely friendship with a human. The film boasts a big voice cast including  Channing Tatum, James Corden, Zendaya, Common, LeBron James, and Gina Rodriguez.

The film follows high school drop out Hart who is trying to get his G.E.D. and Haddish a not so conventional night school teacher who refuses to make the journey towards being a better man any easier for him. 

Night School is helmed by Malcolm D. Lee and produced by Will Packer.

Rounding out the top five this weekend are The House With a Clock in Its Walls ($12.5 million), A Simple Favor ($6.6 million) and The Nun ($5.4 million).

The film focuses on a 12-year-old boy and the celebration of the Day of the Dead and its music. It set a box office record in Mexico with $56.8 million following a late October launch ahead of the holiday.

The success is even bigger when we know, as Disney noted, that the movie has yet to be released in around a third of the international market. Among the audiences that still haven’t seen it are Italy, Brazil, Australia, U.K., Japan and Korea.

The Chinese market has brought the most of the international success so far. It has earned nearly as much as the domestic market – $133 million.
