Starring Jim Carrey and James Marsden, the family friendly film Sonic 2 earned an impressive $71 million in its first weekend in theaters, topping the opening weekend take of the first film, which earned $58 million in February 2020 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic closing theaters in March 2020.
Morbius starring Jared Leto dropped just one spot, taking in an additional $10.2 million for a two-week total of $57 million.
