It also out-grossed Pikachu domestically, even with the pandemic cutting off its stay in theaters ($148 million for Sonic, $144 million for Pikachu.)

Globally, Warcraft remains the highest grossing video-game adaption ($439 million, while Pikachu is at #2 with $433 million.) Though, worth mentioning that Warcraft bombed in the U.S. and made less overall ($43 million) than either Sonic or Pikachu did in just their respective opening weekend. Warcraft was a huge hit in China where it made like $200+ million.
