The school Spring Break holiday was the perfect time frame to release this video game sequel movie as it knocks the comic book film Morbius off the top after a single weekend.
The sequel to 2020's Sonic the Hedgehog takes over at the top with a fantastic $71 Million which beats the originals $58 Million debut from Valentines 2020.
With a fantastic debut gross the movie is already the 6th top movie of 2022.
The unfavourable reception of the latest comic book movie from Marvel Studios is already showing its effect as the Sony Spiderverse movie falls to number 2 on its second weekend with $10.2 Million, a massive 74% drop.
A total gross of $57 Million takes it into the top 10 movies of 2022 but with a number of high profile movies coming in the following months it will not keep this position for long.

The movie has gained a solid audience and is the 7th top movie of 2022 so far.

Falling to number 5 on its 6th weekend of release the Caped Crusader takes $6.5 Million, a 40% drop which gives the movie a $359 Million total.
The movie can be considered a hit and is tracking just above Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice which had taken $325 Million at this point in its box office run.
The movie is the top film of 2022 in North America.
As the movie goes wide into 54 counties including North America Sonic the Hedgehog 2 easily tops the global box office on its second weekend of release.

After being beaten by Morbius last weekend the speedy blue video game hedgehog jump to the top of the global box office with ease this weekend having extended its country count to 54.
The movie takes $108 Million, a 76% increase, over the weekend pushing its total global gross to $141 Million after 2 weeks of release, it is the 9th top movie of 2022.
Getting a release in 22 countries the third in the Fantastic Beasts series of movies makes its debut at number 2 this weekend getting a release in 22 countries.
The movie takes a reasonable $58 Million on its debut, but with a release in countries like North America next weekend expect this to more than double and the movie to take over at the top.
Falling hard to number 3 this weekend is the Marvel/Sony vampire movie starring Jared Leto which takes $25.2 Million over the weekend, a hard 70% drop over last weekend.
This puts the movie total global gross at $126 Million after 2 weeks of release, this must be seen as a big disappointment for Sony, especially after the mega success of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Falling to number 4 on its 6th weekend of release the Caped Crusader takes $13 Million, a 46% drop over last weekend, the movie has taken a total of $735 Million.
The movie will fail to make $1 Billion, not too much of a surprise considering there is still a pandemic gripping the world and the Cinese release was far less than expected, but the movie is the top film of 2022 across the globe, so far!
The Michael Bay movie jumps to number 5 this weekend, from number 9, with $11.5 Million, a 75% increase over last weekend as the movie expands into 69 countries, this takes its total gross to $31 Million after 4 weeks of release.

The speedy blue hedgehog returns in a sequel to his surprise smash hit movie Sonic the Hedgehog from 2020.
This time he is accompanied by his buddy Tails and Dr. Ivo Robotnik has brought along Knuckles to try and defeat Sonic.
The movie makes its debut with a fantastic £4.9 Million which is a tiny bit higher than the original movie but definitely in the same ball park.
The timing of the movie could not have been better and it beats the much anticipated Morbius, altohugh Sonic 2 has had far better reviews.
The latest movie from the Sony Pictures Spiderverse of villains which also includes Venom lands at number 2 with a debut weekend gross of £3.2 Million.
This is lower than Venom and its sequel from last year Venom: Let There Be Carnage, but considering the negative critical review and word of mouth this is perhaps understandable.
Putting the movie against Sonic was probably not the best idea, it is the start of the UK Easter holidays and the younger audience has a better appetite for a video game adaptation rather than a movie based on a villain they have probably not heard of.
Completing a trio of new films at the top of the UK box office is the new movie from DreamWorks, the same studio that brought us the Shrek series of movies.
Positive reviews and the Easter holidays have taken the movie into the top 3 with a debut gross of £2.2 Million.
After 4 weeks at the top the lastest incarnation of the Caped Crusader falls hard to number 4 this weekend with a 5th weekend gross of £1,2 Million, a small 25% drop over last weekend.
