UK-Ireland box office preview: 'Sonic The Hedgehog 2' looks to rev ... (Screen International)

Twelve films make their debut in UK-Ireland cinemas this weekend, with sequel Sonic The Hedgehog 2 one of three wide releases looking to revive a flagging ...

Vertigo Releasing has Lauren Hadaway’s rowing thriller The Novice in 33 sites. That film opened to a substantial £4.7m in February 2020, topping the charts for two weeks. With box office takings for the top five titles having dropped for four weekends in a row, exhibitors will be hoping for a glut of new films to revive fortunes heading in to the Easter holidays. The third wide release of the weekend is Universal animation The Bad Guys, in 618 sites. Universal revealed a sneak look at the trailer at last year’s CineEurope in Barcelona in October. Paramount is opening Sonic 2 in 651 locations – a five percent increase on the 620 locations of 2020’s Sonic The Hedgehog.

It's silly popcorn (or chilli dog) entertainment for the family that's hardly award-winning, but even fans from the Mega Drive days will find an emerald in the rough. Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) soon returns though, having been stranded on a mushroom planet (a nod to Mushroom Hill Zone) in one of the most disgusting opening sequences for anyone who dislikes fungi. And somehow Tails is a cute companion rather than a burden. Yet where the first put the hedgehog into the real world, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 puts the video game back into the film, its plot now hinging on entire setpieces that honour the game series. Beyond that, though, director Jeff Fowler has injected the sequel with a large dose of... Sure, it features the blue blur you know and love, but putting him on Earth in the real world puts a new spin (pun intended) on the franchise.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2's credit scene, explained (digitalspy.com)

Sonic the Hedgehog 2's credit scene directly sets up the third movie, but who is that major new character and what happened in the games?

However, we imagine that the third movie would stay fairly loyal to Shadow's introduction in the games and have him work with Dr Robotnik, initially at least. There's certainly plenty to explore when it comes to Shadow and his backstory which we doubt can fit all into the third movie. In Sonic Adventure 2, Dr Robotnik freed Shadow from the GUN base on Prison Island after his 50-year captivity. As an antihero, he's generally on the side of Sonic, but his methods have sometimes brought him into conflict with Sonic. It could risk becoming a bit too similar to Knuckles in the sequel who also starts against Sonic, but then teams up with him. Sonic fans will be well aware of who Shadow is, but a quick recap if it's needed.

That said, Sonic 2 overall steps things up nicely, and ought to eke out a smile or two from fans young and old. With the groundwork laid down in Sonic 1, director Jeff Fowler has been able to cast the net a little wider and reel in more characters and narrative beats from the games. We won't spoil anything, as there are some wonderful set-pieces that directly harken back to the Genesis classics, and it's great to see.
