Paramount’s “Sonic the Hedgehog” and 20th Century Studios’ “The Call of the Wild” have been in a back-and-forth race for the top spot at the box office this weekend, with Blue Blur ultimately edging out the Jack London adaptation Sunday morning with an estimated $26.7 million second weekend total.
“The Call of the Wild,” which was estimated yesterday to take No. 1 with a $27 million opening, is now looking at a $25 million start from 3,752 screens. As both “Call” and “Sonic” are aimed towards family audiences, totals for the two films relied heavily on turnout from that demographic for Saturday matinees. “Sonic” won out on that front, with its Saturday estimated domestic grosses beating “The Call of the Wild” $12 million to $10.2 million, and passing $200 million globally.
“Sonic,” which is looking at a decent 54% drop from its video game adaptation record $58 million opening, is now estimated to have a 10-day total of $107 million.
