Honestly? I think a lack of competition. Detective Pikachu came out in May, which is normally competitive enough but this time had Avengers Endgame still totally dominating. Sonic came out at a time when there wasn't anything else to challenge it.
muchthink also I think they made this movie simple of purpose they’re clearly trying to make this. Cinematic sonic universe based on the post credit scene
It’s really just an origin story of why sonic and robotnik are the way they are that’s why sonic doesn’t act like modern sonic modern sonic has been through all this and is more mature
@@jametriusgaston6388 Yea that's a good point! They're definitely going to expand in the sequel(s) and on some level this movie was about turning Robotnik into his more game-y form.
Sonic ever since Adventure had no identity people want it to have this complex ass story fuck classic sonic and like they on his roots fora dragon ball ripoff like remember when sonic was just a series about a anthropomorphic blue hedgehog smashing robots freeing animals and defeating his nemesis, a fat doctor ahh miss those days am i right?
I think it's serviceable and people will enjoy it but we're at a point now where game movies can take more risks. It was just too middle of the road for my taste.
How tf did this movie pass detective pikachu in opening box office

muchthink that’s why I think they went this route robotnik is a human in the games how else would he meet sonic

I liked the film but it's not my favourite console game film.
