If you'd have said a year ago that Sonic the Hedgehog would end up as one of the highest-grossing movies of 2020 most people would have written you off as insane. But a combination of the film being much better than anticipated and COVID lockdowns delaying almost all of its competitors left it jockeying for the domestic top spot with Bad Boys For Life. A sequel - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - was quickly greenlit and is being fast-tracked through development for an April 2022 release.
