Thursday Night Previews: Sonic Speeds its way to $3 million
February 14, 2020
Sonic the Hedgehog started its box office run with $3 million in midnight previews on Thursday. This is twice as much as The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part earned during its Thursday previews last year. I’m not saying Sonic will open with twice as much as that film did during its opening weekend, but there are reasons to be optimistic that it will top our predictions. Its reviews remain solid and there is a lack of direct competition with Dolittle slipping out of the top five this weekend. We will have a better idea where it is heading tomorrow, but so far I’m pleased.
The Photograph debuted with $650,000 during its previews, which is about on par with expectations. Maybe it’s a little low. The film’s reviews are the best of the weekend and Valentine’s Day should give it a massive boost, so I remain cautiously optimistic.
We are still waiting on preview numbers for Downhill, while Fantasy Island didn’t have any previews last night.
